I'm jealous of you that can have actual meals on the pre op diet. I'm 5 days in and I'm allowed 2 Protein Shakes, and any broth based Soup for dinner. I can have sf Jello, sf pudding, sf Popsicles and low fat yogurt. I'm so sick of sweet stuff!!!

On day 6 of my pre-op diet, (surgery oct 1)- I'm allowed a "small no carb meal" at night. I blew it last night, I ate 6 ounces of chicken Marsala instead of recommended 2-3 ounces... I also had minestrone Soup AND the salad... Too much for one sitting... And now I went up on the scale by a pound... Hope it's just Water retention from the sodium... I feel so guilty! ????

One more thing down, this past Thursday I had my scope done, piece of cake! Got there at 7, went back at 830 and was headed home around 10ish. (Worst part was the IV in the back of my hand!) Now, 29 days until surgery!!

      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. 🤞
