Hi Diane :wave: I'm in day 5 of my pre-op, liquid diet. What kind of pre-op diet are you doing and how long? Mine is 6 day's full liquid Protein diet, 1 day Clear liquids. As for suggestions...I wish I had some tricks...all I'm doing is getting through it a day at a time. It's really tough, but I believe it will be worth it.

Come join us in the General Forum, under June 2007 Bandsters thread. We're discussing this topic, among others :)

I understand where you are coming from. I will be starting my pre-op on June 1st. I was advised by my Doctor to drink to replace 2 meals a day with a Protein shake and eat a dinner entree like lean cuisine, etc. I can also have sugar free drinks like chrystal lite, etc., sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello. I'm starting a few days early to prepare myself for what's to come. I did the Slim Fast diet years ago so I know I can do it but I'm allowing myself a few extra days to adjust. Good Luck! Keep me posted on your progress.

      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.
