Hi guys! Just going to have a bit of a vent if that's ok! I'm sooo over this pre opp diet! It's making me so cranky! I'm hungry ALL the time which is making me angry!!! So every little thing is getting on my nerves I'm doing three shakes a day and I'm allowed some veggies and 100g of Protein and I've been very good but it's a nightmare I wish surgery day would hurry up and come so I'm not hungry all the time... Rant over thank u for listening and understanding...Pre opp diet can go suck it lol still got until the 1st of May that's 11 days!!!!!!!!! I'm a hot mess guys...

Queen Bee Bee, sorry but I couldn't help laugh at your little rant! It's good to have a place to let these emotions out. I'm new to this site but have found it so helpful already. It's good for us all to hear the good and the difficult times. I'm in the just beginning category and I don't want to hear only the positive. I want to hear the real deal! When I get to that pre opp diet I want to know what to expect..REALLY expect! So thank you for posting your true feelings. I hope you are feeling better soon! Take care

. 4 more.. You can do it!! 2 weeks after surgery is the same as you will feel and be hungry about 3 days pits op. You don't feel restriction till you start full liquids or mushy. So just make peace with the pre op diet! You feel lighter? I did and that made me feel fantastic and got me through it!

So today is so much easier...I've been able to cook for hubby without resenting him! So big breakthrough...I was feeling jealous that he could eat all these yummy foods while I was sucking down another shake and I was getting angry with him and myself and it was aweful. Today it doesn't bother me too much. I'm starting to feel fuller on the shakes now they sustain me a lot more too :) haven't cracked the shits at all today :) VICTORY!!!! Thank god for this app and the Facebook page sassy sleevers just helps to know ur not alone and helps to know whAts in store 10 more days to go!!!!

Hang in there! It gets better. The preop diet (I did 2 weeks of only liquids) was the worst part. I'm 2.5 months postoperative and have lost 55 lbs!

I have surgery in 5 weeks and was told to low carb the week before to shrink my liver, but I'm trying to start earlier. It's really hard, I completely understand. I did Ideal Protein for 5 months and lost 50 pounds but lived in a perpetual state of hunger. It was horrible-led to serious carb-binging after I finally gave up. I would literally have lists of foods I was craving. So, I'm nervous about going back into a hunger-diet situation.

You are doing so well! I wish I had words of encouragement beyond "it's almost over."

Keep up the great work and feel free to vent-we all get it! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
