3 nights until surgery



Recommended Posts

And I can't take one more Protein shake! All I can think of is food... On day 13 of liquid diet and I only cheated once (which I felt super guilty) and was a HUGE mistake. If you are on your 2 week liquid only diet, don't cheat as it will make it so much harder to continue after and will trick your mind into thinking one bite or two a day until surgery is ok.

If you are near the end of your diet how are you coping? I have to check into hospital at 6am on Friday and although I'm not ready for surgery I AM so ready for the hunger pangs to be gone.

I would say don't cheat either. I didn't cheat but my dr switched me from two weeks to one when I had already started so I went and ate. It was so super hard to get back on track, I did it the next day but it was 10x worse than when I first started. But if I had just stayed on it instead of taking advantage of the one day I had, it would have been easier and I would be lighter. So yes I'm near the end, today is the last day and surgery is tomorrow. For the most part the last few days have been fine but in the evenings I do have these thoughts that I should go in there and eat because it will be my last chance for a big meal like I'm used to. But I do not really want a big meal, that's what got me here, it's all in my head and I don't know any different. So for you the last few days will probably be easier than you think.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
