Mind if I join in? I have surgery on October 29th. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow (which I am super nervous about). I think I will most miss coffee. haha I had myself a moment at Starbucks this morning after all my preop testing and teaching. I'm anxious to get the surgery behind me. ~Krystal

I am 2 weeks post op.. I had a terrible caffeine withdrawal headache for a week... But went away.. I can't stand the taste of coffee now.: it's tea now for me.. Which is good less caffeine..

Yeah the 2 weeks before goes so slow.: but thank god didn't have to do the pre op diet like I see a lot have to do..

Good luck to you both

Well, I started my pre-op diet today and I must say that it's really starting to become REAL!! Woke up, had a boiled egg and a strawberry nectar Protein smoothie. Around 3 hours later a Cookies and cream Quest Protein Bar. Again three hours later a 2oz piece of baked chicken and a lemonade nectar Protein Shake. Today has been really easy so far and hopefully it stays this way. October 21st here I come!!! :))

      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.
