Hi ladies and welcome in the club :)

I am on the liquid for the last 14 days already and after the first 3 days it has become just routine. I did it before and really don't mind. Mind over matter, right and with such a goal ahead of us it really makes it easy.

What I struggle with is getting closer to the surgery date but only because I had some trouble with the anesthetic in my last surgeries. But hey we never know ;).

So keep your eyes on the ball and all will be fine.

I'm on the liquid diet and I can have 1 to 2 cups veggies with lunch and dinner. So I guess it just depends on the doctor. Mine no sf Jello or v8 not even popsicles. Then 3 days before surgery only the shakes.< /p>

My doctor just has me on a 1000 calorie diet. He said since I did so well over the three months I can eat, but no more than a 1000. I started yesterday. Today I was really tired. I do not know why, but I was not hungry. I did drink Unjury Protein Shake today. They are good. I think this is going to help me until my date Sept 11.

Regarding the pre-op diet and veggies-- I went to pre-op class this past week and while 1 cup of vegetables (no starchy ones) is allowed for the majority of it, the doctors are now saying NO vegetables 48 hours prior to surgery or they will cancel it. Apparently a patient did not follow it, ate corn and has experienced lots of ongoing complications. They are adamant that we be compliant or risk surgery being stopped.

Surgery is supposed to be September 3. I had a shock when I went for my pre-op on Friday and discovered that the office staff had the day off (which is strange because I was told to come in by noon that day.) Living in limbo now but still doing pre-op diet. Tomorrow I go to Clear Liquids. I will get this all straightened out on Tuesday.

      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.
