Hi so have any of you started your two week diet yet? I see my NUT this Friday I'm excited but nervous at the same time, I know I am ready, even though I know it will be a test of wills... not to cheat...I am really working on getting my mindset ready to do battle. It's hard because I have a couple of children I still have to cook for and just keeping in mind this is not for me even though it might smell good plays mind games. No you can not just have a tiny taste... Are any of you going thru this too?

I've been on my Pre-op diet for a little over 2 weeks. I have an 18 month old and husband so cooking is different but so far so good. My liquid diet doesn't start until 3 days before surgery for me.

Wow 4 weeks is a long time... What kind of shakes are you using? I had purchased the Premier Protein shakes from costco - I got all three flavors since I was not sure what I would like.. The strawberry cream is my least favorite, I think because it is just not flavored enough... I had also purchased some sugar free syrups different flavors, so this morning I put some raspberry in with my shake it tasted much better, not sure if you have any of those syrups but they might be an idea to spruce stuff up to more your likening...

      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. 🤞
