July 8th for me. I don't have to do any diet before, just eat a light meal the night before. I am having a colonoscopy the end of June and I have to be on liquids for the day before that, so I think I will just stick with liquids until the day of surgery. I have already given up carbonated drinks. Now I need to practice not drinking Water 30 mins before and after eating. Good luck to everyone. I am so excited I could bust. :D

Hi all, I just got my date, July 22nd. Cant come soon enough. I have been on the pre-op diet since may the 8th. I have to start drinking 3 shakes instead of 2 and a meal. Liver needs to shrink more. Good luck to us all.

Has anybody started getting prepared for surgery? By that I mean getting the liquids, Proteins etc.,?

I'm at Walt Disney World celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we get home this weekend, I'm hopping on the liquid diet. It's not required yet but makes sense to me. July 1st surgery for me.

July 22nd here. Seems like time has slowed to a standstill ever since I got my surgery date. Practicing sipping Water, trying different Protein shakes, and OD'ing on Bariatric Pal posts and YouTube videos in the meantime.

July 22 for me as well. I am feeling the same way, as if it will never get here. I dont want to keep thinking about the food I wont eat ever again or for a long while. Im down a few pounds ..... gaining and losing the same five or ten over and over. Dont want to keep having " food funerals" lol. I get so excited when I get dressed, because I wonder is this the last time I will wear this before I lose weight? Soo motivating.

      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.
