My dietitian says to use Walden farm dressing. It has no calories. Been on pre-op diet for a month and that was what I used for my salads at dinner. I had to have 4 Protein Shakes and 1 Protein Bar a day. Than I got to eat 4 oz of Protein, 1-2 cups vegetables and 1 cup fruit. Surgery is Tuesday. I am getting so excited

Thank you so much wildpulaski!!! I'll look for it . Wow- you're allowed fruit? Sooo jealous!! and btw, best of luck to you- I share your excitement too!

Hello all!

I cannot believe I'm getting sleeved Monday! I've been on a pre-op diet for nearly 2 weeks, so even if I could have a "food funeral" this weekend, I wouldn't want to. So funny to me now.

Does anyone have any last minute advice of what I should do pre-surgery.... or what I should buy for when I come home from surgery? I'm planning to buy my Protein drinks/powders and liquid Tylenol. Anything else anyone has found to be helpful?

Thanks!

I start my preop diet tomorrow! I'm very lucky because my surgeon only requires high Protein, low/no carb. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I've got a tummy bug and the sight of food is icky. Hopefully I can get rid of it before surgery tho, I'm terrified they will cancel the surgery =/

Make sure you're allowed to have painted nails during surgery. That was one of the rules on my list - remove all nail polish from fingers and toes. First time I've been in public with bare toenails in like 10 years!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
