Thank God no, I would be all kinds of frustrated. Hang in there...it will get better.

Anyone else gain weight on the clear liquid stage? Or stall? I have a barrier I can't break. Been same weight three days. No cheating

Hang in there. I too was very hungry...like stomach growling hungry. I was super tired also. Also, I had a major case of diet brain. About day 4, I felt much better. Lots of energy and not so hungry. But the diet brain has stuck around, unfortunately! It will get better soon. :)

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet and it is horrible. I am weak, tired, have a bad headache and starving. I am also at work. I was supposed to work tomorrow but my boss is letting today be my last. Surgery is monday, i am nervous and excited. More ready to just get this over. Im located in Michigan.

Two more days until my sleeve surgery! I am excited & kind of freaking out lol! I always over do it, but between packing for the hospital, packing my kids stuff for their Nana's house, getting everything situated to take my four dogs to the Kennel, making sure my house is spotless ( because I am a control freak lol) and just mentally preparing I am getting anxious. I will have plenty of time to do it all I'm sure, but I always try to do more then what is needed. It drives my husband nuts when we are going on a trip, but I don't know how to turn it off! Lol! Being over prepared is what me feel in control & at ease.

Not supposed to be fun it's detoxing the fat of your liver. Life will not be fun in the next month or so. Sorry

They told me yesterday to bathe in dial soap up to two days before surgery and the morning of. She said no perfumes and stuff. My question is this. Does that mean deodorant, face cream, Shampoo, and chipped toe nail polish? She talked fast lol

I had to wash with Hibacleanse tonight, which I did and again in the morning before heading in for my surgery.

It's to make sure there's no lotions, powders, etc or excess oils on your skin.

Im on day 9 of my preop diet and I have only lost 3 pounds. :( I have not cheated. Yesterday I went to my preop appt and was told that according to my tests, my liver was a normal size, meaning its not enlarged. I wonder if that is why im not losing much?

        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.

      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
