I'm March 2nd, not sure of the time yet, but I see the surgeon next week for my pre-op stuff hopefully they will give me my time then.

Seems like the closer I am getting to this thing the worse I am eating. It scares me a little, I am not eating a lot, but not very healthy and putting on some weight.

I am nervous about the pre-op liquids diet. Anyone else, just me?

I am scheduled for March 2nd!!!! I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I'm scared of recovery time cause I heard so many different horror stories. I start my pre-op diet on February 16th.. I'm hoping this surgery helps me with my PCOS and I'm hoping to achieve pregnancy in the future. Does anybody have PCOS and have trouble getting pregnant?

I had a surgery date of Feb 11 (which I just realized is today :( ) but I was denied. I submitted my supporting documents that I needed and hoping that my appeal will meet the requirements and I will have a March date! I'm sending my prayers up for each of you and for me as well.

I also have PCOS and they say this surgery will help. However, I'm single and 37 soon to be 38... I don't believe pregnancy will be an option for me. But I do hope it helps for you, good luck!

@@KristyMe I'm in the same boat. Very nervous about the pre-op liquid diet. I was eating horribly but the more I stress about the liquid diet the less I have been eating this week. Leading to a huge Migraine last night. I hope today goes better, and I can make it through my two weeks. I start next week....

From what I have heard from a lot of people, this is pretty normal. In the back of your mind you are thinking, I am not going to be able to eat most of this stuff ever again. So you binge eat. You try to get in the foods you will not be able to eat. A lot of people do this and they gain some weight. It doesn't sounds like you are making yourself sick by eating so much. You are about to start a new journey and you are going to be giving up all of these treats. But I think once we have the surgery it will be easier. The temptation will be there. But in the back of your mind you will know that by sustaining from the crappy food you are losing weight and becoming a healthier person! Don't beat yourself up.

I started phase 1 of my pre-op diet. I add a Protein shake in for Breakfast and snack. The biggest thing I noticed is I miss a hot meal for Breakfast. The shakes taste fine...I like the chocolate, vanilla and orange flavors the best. When I move into phase 3, I will be on shakes with just a little veggies. I know why they want me to go through this way of eating...to get me ready for post surgery diet but I have to admit, it will be hard. I'll miss chewing. Believe it or not. I'm just trying to keep in mind that it won't be forever...it may feel like it at the time but it will be over soon. :huh: I hope we all keep in touch after the surgery. I think it will help give us the will to power through! Best wishes everyone!

I'm 29 so I'm praying it does work for me I still have a chance at pregnant. Don't give up on the chance. I've known women get pregnant well into their late 40's.

      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.
