My surgery is march 3!! I'm meeting with the surgeon to sign final consents tmw. And he will probably tell me to start the liquid diet. I'm scared of that too! But it's gonna be worth it :)

I hope everyone's surgery is successful and that we all come out okay.

Cause I am legit terrified lol

About preop diet, I'm worry too, because I don't know if I can Stand only with liquids.

Let's see what happens!

Have a good night!

Congratulations to my fellow March surgery pals! My date is Mar. 3. I started the pre-op diet yesterday. So far I am doing well. I had pre-op testing with nothing to eat or drink until a little past noon yesterday. The upper GI was last, so maybe the barium drink had me feeling full, but I wasn't really hungry last night. So far today I am doing fine. I can have 4 Meal Replacement drinks, or three drinks and 1 high Protein Protein Bar each day. I can have sugar free Jello and popsicles, but not red ones. I can have broth, and the flavored non calorie Water. So far I had one Popsicle. They say the first 4-5 days are the hardest. i had my mind set on the pre-op diet before I started it, and started replacing a meal or two each day with the Protein Drinks so it wouldn't be so hard.

Best wishes for success to you all!

Hello fellow March peeps! I'm scheduled for March 11th. I'm seeing the Dr today for my pre op instructions. I'm so excited to get started on this journey! I'm 5'9" and 297 lbs. The before and after pics and stories keep me excited! What is helping you all get passed the nerves?

Just dropping in to say hi and wish you all the best. I was my surgeons last Feburary surgery on the 27 th. It's actually going easier than I thought. I had a cough and cold so that made things interesting.

      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.
