I'm on the 3rd day of my 2-week pre-op liquid diet (4 shakes per day with 1 low carb yogurt, broth, SF Jello and ice pops). The first 2 nights I felt very woozy and dizzy, almost sick, and broke out in a cold sweat. I had a jello and ice pop and felt a little better before falling asleep. I'd do anything for a spoonful of peanut butter! Anyone else have a reaction like this? It's gonna be a rough next 12 days.

I'm on day 4. 3 shakes + Jello + SF popsicles….I had a headache off and on until today and I was very hungry, but today not so much. I'm not sure if it is my body adjusting or what. I hope it gets easier for you too!

Darn! Looks like I will be moving to late September or early October. I messed up on my monthly doctor weigh in appointments. Good luck to you all. Looks like I will be a few steps behind. At least I have more time to break some more bad habits and make positive lifestyle changes.

Are you talking about for insurance purposes or after you were already approved for surgery?

For insurance purposes. I have to do one more additional appointment with my primary care on September 5. So I will probably have to push surgery into the first week of October because of my kids school schedule.

I'm on day 5 of my two week pre-op diet. This diet is not as bad as I thought. I try to stay out of my kitchen add much as possible. There's too many temptation laying around. My teenage daughter asked me to make her dinner tonight and I flat out refused. Little momma had to make her own food or starve tonight. The choice was hers. My hat goes off to the people that cook dinner during their week diet. I don't know how you do it.

By the way, my baby girl made dinner for herself and her sister.

I am August 19th. So far I am anxious and excited. I am a little nervous about the liquid diet that comes two weeks prior to the surgery! How are you guys all holding up?

        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
