Try your Protein Shakes and find variety cause your tastes will change after, so bought variety single packs to have around and unflavored and of course Unjury chicken Soup flavored is a real keeper. You will want a NON straw Water cup you will take everywhere and measure your water. That will be most likely your first week or two home. As you get closer they will suggest chewable vitamins supplements you will need to take after, so I bought mine right before and had ready. After you move off liquids they will add soft pureed which pudding Jello such then soft Proteins egg and soft meats like refried Beans. So I made sure I had a dozen eggs, pudding mix, milk for shakes, can of refried beans, and jello mix. Then I have just went week by week now. Next week is my one month visit, so I have not bought nothing until after that appointment as they will add some more foods back, then I will pick up on way home. When buying remember about 1-2T will be all you eat, so you may think of ice cube trays to freeze servings of like rest of the refried beans. I tried those little half cup tupperware things but the ice cube trays were perfect then I Ziploc them. Hope this helps out some and congratulations, it is exciting and nerve racking until it gets here but well worth it!!

Just pray and keep the faith.I had my surgery Tuesday May 26.My surgery went good,I had no complications.I think in some cases the doctor wants to make sure your heart is strong enough to handle everything. I think its a good thing.You will be okay.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
