Hi, day 2 was the hardest for me too. I'm now on day 4 and yesterday and today seem to be much easier (boring but easier). They do say the first 3 days are the hardest and it was the same when I tried doing the Lighterlife diet. So keep going and fingers crossed tomorrow will be easier. It's nice to know I'm not alone on this pre op diet as it's tougher than I think most people predict. I'm sure this will all be worth it in the long term.

My surgery is in 4 days and I was only asked to do liquids for 2 days. I believe it is because of cash pay. But I am wondering if you guys have any pointers for me? I have little ones and I cook for them a lot

I have young kids and i still had to cook for them while doing my pre op. Mine was 16 days of all liquids only.

Honestly, the only way i could do it was this. I would cook the family meal while sipping my Protein Powder broth. Once it was served i would vanish to a hot bath.

On pizza days i still vanish to the bath and im now 5 months post op.

Hi Roses1223, looks like were having it on the same day (25th), so exciting. I don't envy you having to cook for others but just try and keep I mind it will all be worth it. I'd try doing what gomekast suggested and maybe just try and keep changing your yoghurt flavours. I've also found the oxo cube with hot Water quite satisfying after just having the yoghurts, maybe having one of those when the kids eat will help?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
