I had my Preop visit with my surgeon today and then the nutritionist. My surgeon is ready to rock and so am I! I asked him how many people that he has done have died and he said ZERO. I asked him how many Leaks he said NONE! He's the best of the best and I feel very comfortable he is doing my surgery! I have a 2 week preop diet which consists of liquids, protien shakes (cornerstone is what he gave me) low fat Soups, sugar free popcycles, pudding and Jello. I can also have endless veggies! Wee!!! I'm so happy I just may go to McDonalds for dinner since I start my diet tomorrow! I'm so ready for this journey and nothin is gonna stop me from livin the life I was intended to live!

Awesome!!! I was so nervous about the liquid diet as it was the most extreme diet I was ever on. I had two rough days where I was probably detoxing, and then the rest was actually great. I had tons of energy, my skin looked great, and even my hair was extra shiny. It was totally weird.

Hope you have a great experience, too!

I just started mine today! I pretty much resent the heck out of anyone chewing within sight of me LOL. This too shall pass (so I've heard). Your diet sounds a lot like mine, except I can't have veggies. The doctor doesn't have a preference in shakes, just as long as there is at least 15 grams of Protein, and less than 20 grams of carbs per cup.

Do you have a calorie restriction? Mine is supposed to be 800-1000 calories a day.

I'm on day 3! I have to stay under 1,000 calories as well. I'm doing Premier Protein and they are really good. They taste kind of like a runny pudding. Lol. I am struggling tho and having lots of food cravings and mourning the loss of food right now.

So far I feel ok. The smell of my daughters fish sticks were a little hard....

I have to drink protien shakes with 20-30 grams of Protein per drink. Less than 200 cal per drink, less than 5 grams of fat and sugar per drink. I get 4 shakes a day with almond milk.

I can have low fat/low sodium Soups like healthy choice, one serving 5x a day. Cream of wheat, applesauce/ pudding low fat sugar free.

Veggies are free

Here's a sample menu

That's almost exactly like mine, except no applesauce :(

I'm on Premier, too! I like Muscle Milk better, but I had coupons for Premier plus they went on sale so I stocked up. They are good enough. Can't beat that 30mg of protein!

I'm jealous! I'm on strictly liquid. Shakes, broth, sf Jello, low carb yogurt and protein pudding. Good luck!!! I'm sure you will do great!

Premier, Chike and Unjury are good. The Syntrax Nectars are nastyyyyy!

Laura I have to buy the protein from my surgeons office at least for preop and 2 weka after. They like to make money off it. It's either Cornerstone or Bariatric Advantage and since they were out of BA I got Cornerstone and it tastes like shit!!! I was thinking after 3 shakes today, "how the hell am I gonna choke these bastards down for the next month? Then I put a banana in my blender and added a packet of Splenda and that did the trick!!

      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
