Got my date. September 24th. Nervous and excited, scared and in disbelief. I have my prep on the 18th. Haven't been told to start a liquid diet yet......do most? Why weren't you? Should I call and ask about it? I suspect that they would have told me already, but it don't know.

IDP2014, my date is the same. I began pre op diet today. I hunkered down and had a low key Friday night. Followed it well though. I have a box of no sugar added carnation Breakfast vanilla and added to a Decaf coffee I purchased on this cold wet day. That was good. Tomorrow is watching soccer in the cold. I may repeat the coffee trick but have to figure out a plan to avoid team bonding meal. I will likely bring three books on WLS, and a small cooler.

My doc gave me my pre op and post op instructions months before- when I first started my 3 month preop certification process for insurance.

Everyone has a different experience n different pre op preparations , I would call your doctor and check. Post op diet recommendations all seems to be more similar for everyone, Congrats and Good Luck!!!

      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. 🤞
