I really must revive this thread. It's helping get me in the right frame of mind for this pre-op diet.

Ok, I've just got to put my two cents in this discussion. I WISH I could be on my two week liquid diet right now! I have no surgery date, I'm still jumping through the hoops needed to get insurance to pay for this. I'm stuck at a job I don't like because I have to keep the insurance going till after my surgery - which there is no guarantee that I will get. You people are LUCKY!!!! Two weeks out of an entire lifetime ain't JACK! Give me a chance to suck down all the Meal Replacement drinks! Give me a chance to be two weeks from my surgery! I will do everything I can to shrink my liver down to the size of a postage stamp if that is what I need to do to have my surgery! Count your blessings!!!! You're almost there!!!

Touche! I will not complain. You are absolutely right, I am very lucky. I read a post a while back where someone said their insurance didn't cover surgery so they dropped it and signed up for Obamacare insurance and it was covered. Not sure what is entailed in that but it may be worth checking into.

I have needed this firm Nealy 2 weeks ago. I have struggled the whole way. So sad. I am scheduled for Friday. I pray that all is well for me to have this even though I cheated nearly everyday (I know please keep me lifted). I am feeling really good today though. I had two shakes and my salad. I plan to have another shake and a Protein Bar. I know my nutritionist would be proud of all, well minus the dressing on my salad :(

Craving carbs sooo badly! This is my 2nd week on my mostly liquid diet. 2 shakes, veggies, a high Protein low carb dinner, sf Jello and sf Popsicles a day. Will be doing this until my surgery date because I suck at losing weight on my own. Hence the need for surgery. Lol. Waiting for ins approval then I can get a date. Hopefully the end of October. My husband hasn't killed me yet. That is a plus

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
