Today starts my pre-op liquid/liver reduction diet. My surgery isJuly 13th so 10 more days! I just hope I can get through this liquid phase!

10 more days yay! What are you planning to drink for liquids? I am also nervous about the liquid phase. My surgery is on the 29th.
I have to do 4 Protein Shakes a day that I'm mixing with unsweetened almond milk, sugar free clears (popsicles, jello) sugar free gum, fat free broths, 1/2 cup non strachy veggies a day for chewing. I plan to mix them with my broth to make "soup"

Good luck with your surgery!

That's a great idea. Are you hungry so far? What Protein Powder did you end up getting? I like the synthrax nectar fuzzy navel. I am looking for an unflavored one for Soups or Jello. Good luck with your surgery too. I may check back in w u post op to see how it went? (If that's ok). I have like no pain tolerance and am quite scared. I've had a c section before wonder if it hurts more, less, or the same with this?

I am sort of hungry, but I think it's all mental at this point. It doesn't help that I'm at work and there's pizza and cupcakes in the breakroom (I'm an RN so we often get treats from patients).

I'm using baraitric fusion, but I've never tried their unflavored one.

Is Bariatric Fusion flavored? What do you mix it with? I am a nurse practitioner that works in a hospital and I notice there are a lot of food pushers around, be strong! Do you have to have surgery where u work? I do I bet that's gonna be sooooo awkward!

I totally found my new favorite pre-op food today: 30 dollar snowcone machine, sugar free zero calorie cherry or blue raspberry Syrup, and a handful of ice cubes. Totally hits that dessert craving I've been having!

Yes! Not sure if anyone has a Bahama Bucks around them but that is where I go! "Thin Ice" snow cone- sugar free, carb free, everything free!!! Love them :)

I actually work in oncology so my surgery will be at another hospital fortunately. Bariatric fusion has a lot of different flavors. My favorites are chocolate, Cappuccino, and strawberry. They have cinammon, orange creamsicle, chocolate mint and maybe another. I use either skim milk or unsweetened almond milk and blend that with the powder and icecubes to make a shake.< /p>

I'm loving Unjury and nectar Protein powders. Injury has a savory chicken Soup flavored one I love. I mix it with broth and heat it up.

Anyone going to Mexico with BariatricPal for July 17th? I saw several July 17th's but no-one said if they were traveling for surgery.

Where are you buying Bariatric fusion? The creamsicle flavor sounds good. We have Premier Protein and I prefer the vanilla and strawberries & cream.

      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.
