I'm having surgery on the 20th as well. I'm so excited and starting to get a little scared. I'm sooooo sick of this pre surgery diet though. I'm actually looking forward to the liquids only on Wednesday because I'm getting sick of all the veggies!

Good luck, August sleevers. I would strongly advocate going to Clear Liquids today (which is what I did, three days before). I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of recently eaten food and my stomach being reconstructed. Apart from that, I knew it would help me a great deal with this awful liquid phase from which I am about to graduate on Thursday. I think the glee of being on the doorstep of surgery totally hijacks any hunger sensation within these last 72 hours, and personally, while I had ravenous hunger throughout pre-op, it completely gave up when I closed within three days as your brain has been told things are about to get very different. God bless!

Great advice Sleevy. I was thinking about starting liquid tomorrow instead of Wednesday. Or maybe do liquid for the second half of tomorrow. Good luck transitioning to mush!

      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.
