Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for Sept 2 and am on the 7th day of 14 day liquid diet. The first few days were really hard but it's getting easier. My major concern is that my surgery is scheduled 1 week from tomorrow and I still do not have an answer from my insurance company! Arrgh!

Hello all,

I wonder why on earth are you all on liquid diets before operation. I did my operation 2 weeks ago, and before my operation I had a high Protein low carb meals, chicken and meet with salads with no limitation on quantity.

Planning september 5 but im still bot sure What To choose, sleeve or by-pass?

Hi there,

It depends on your weight and your preference, I prefer Sleeve cause it has less Dumping Syndrome, which is more common in the Bypass.

Different doctors have different requirements for pre op. And mine has different requirements based on your BMI. I am on liquids for 2 weeks and Clear Liquids the day before. The objective is to shrink my liver.

Dear Scout,

I had a BMI of 44

The shrinkage is done from the reduction of carbohydrates, you are definitely taking Protein shakes right? Instead of the Protein Shakes, have a steak with salad or chicken breast. To stop eating 2 weeks before the operation is psychologically stressful, especially for the people who love to eat. Some of my friend were eating everything until the last day before their operation, and now after the operation, they had wonderful results.

Yes. Protein shakes 3 times a day and all the clear liquids I can stand. I start tomorrow and feel confident about success with it.

Best of Luck

      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.
