Hi. My first post! I'm on for 6/15 Too. I'm so ready. Our pre-op diet is 1000 calories/day. I do a Protein Shake for bkfst, salad for lunch, yogurt or broth for dinner. After day 3 it's been good. Myfitnesspal is the key for me. I enter everything! Had my last appt last Friday, final physical, nutrition class. Good luck to everyone and THANK YOU to all who post- I really appreciate all the information, honesty, advice, etc.

I am June 16th. Day 9 of pre-op diet here. I am thankful for my pre-op diet. 30-40 carbs a day and no more than 1400 calories. Nothing but liquids after 6 pm the night before surgery and nothing after midnight that same day. I just keep reminding myself it's only temporary and I can do this.

My surgery date is June 15th as well. My preop diet consists of 1000 calories a day for 8 days prior to surgery and the last three are Clear Liquids. I am doing OK with the preop diet, not perfect of course. It's really hard! Especially working in a school and there are so many celebrations this last week before summer! But I am going to rock out the clear liquid diet! I hope!

I am feeling excited but I become a little more nevous each day. I am not nervous for the procedure but for the recovery. I just dont know how I am going to feel. My mother in law has offered to come and stay with me since my husband works and my mom is disabled. The closer it gets, the more I regret telling people. I have one friend (also over weight) who is really giving me a hard time. She is just so opinionated. If I were getting a new set of boobs I don't think anyone would have very much to say about it. People are just annoying. Just had to vent.

Good luck to everyone! Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I'm getting so nervous.... Less then two days left! I will be checking in at the hospital at six am surgery at seven.

I've told a total of four people what Im doing. I live in a very small community so I am sure there will be alot of talk. Was debating on just making a public post on Facebook.... But I think I'll just let em guess.

Good luck to the rest of you June 15th sleevers!

June 26 here. I started my pre op diet today. I'm not going to lie, I am struggling. I have two Protein Shakes, 3oz of lean meat and unlimited clear liquids. This is going to be a long two weeks but I know it'll be worth it. I would've caved in by now but i see my light at the end of the tunnel.

How is everyone feeling today? I actually feel pretty good. I'm tired but the pain isn't to bad. Sip sip sip but I want to guzzle my mouth is so dry. Every time I take a drink of Water it feels like my stomach is growling. They said I was doing good with the water so they let me have broth last night. And who else has green peee in... I know.... Gross....

Hope everyone else is doing well today!

Good morning! Congrats fellow 6/15 sleepers!

Day 2 and I feel so good! My surgery was yesterday at about 11. I started walking in the evening, then was awake at 3 and walked 10 laps (3/4 of a mile) and another 14 laps at 6:30 (a full mile!). I kept reading and hearing that walking would help with the gas, so I was determined to minimize it- So far so good! I just started on some food- they brought me Jello, tea and broth. Ok so far...taking it slow.

Thank you to all who post on here...I've picked up so much sound advice, encouragement and great info. It is so appreciated!

Here's to a new healthy, fit body!

        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
