Guys! This liquid diet thing has got me ILL. Headaches, weak feeling, dizzy!

Day 3 and I feel like I should just sleep until march 3rd!

But--positivity makes the world go round--or at least that's what im telling myself. It's gonna be worth it! Who needs chewing? I'm not actually HUNGRY. I'm just blech.

I'm actually kind of sick to my stomach..but tomorrow's another day.

My doc was really casual about it. I went in 2 days ago for my consent signing and anesthesia consent. I said....when should I start? And he said..it's in 12 days...you can start now or tomorrow. And then he said...just no cheating the last 7 days. So now I'm thinking...was that a silent "okay to cheat" for 5 days? Lol.

I'm a worry wart so i want my liver to be as teensy as possible just so I don't get hurt lol. I have about 100-120 to lose for my own personal goal. I might as well hit the ground running, I guess.

My friend who has much more to lose was told to expect about 15-20 days at the end. And another person said he didn't have to do one at all except the day before.

Surgeons are super different it seems. I'm just gonna stick to mine and keep my mouth quiet while I mourn the loss of the cheezits in the snack bin at work. Haha

@@kaninag my physician told mr the length of the preoperative diet depends on your BMI. 35 - 40 is 7 days. Over 40 is 14 days.

I'm finishing week one of pre-op diet and haven't been feeling too well. I haven't been hungary but have mainly felt drained. Went to my pre-op class on Thursday and met the other five folks that are having procedures too. I go see my pirmary care physician this week to discuss changing meds and final pre-op exam. One more week to go!

I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on March 9. I appreciate all the support from this forum. It helps to hear from those who have already had surgery and those who are in the process.

March 16th is my new date. I started this process in dec 2013. After a long 6 month supervised diet and all- my insurances at the time UHC, denied it. My doctor appealed it and won. But it was towards the end of the year, so I wasn't able to schedule it. Then the new insurance denied me bc they felt the WLS surgeon, NUT, and psychologist stuff was too old ... So then I had to redo all of those.

After all is said and done, with two insurance denials and two won appeals/resubmission. I'm slated for March.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
