I begin in 2 days. Not looking forward to 6-8 weeks without real food. But I believe it'll be worth it in the end.

I met with the dietician and went over all his required steps. It looks hard :/ but certainly doable.

2 weeks of liquid is what I have to focus on right now.

it's going to be hard but after surgery it'll probably be easier because we won't want to hurt our new stomach, and ugh try to eat Jello at least Jello it's good I'm require to do two days of liquid starting Tuesday

Okay, I'm disregarding everyone's response on here (because I didn't read them) and I'm honestly going to tell you the truth!

Girl... I cheated about 5 times during the two week pre-op diet and I was so frightened that I wouldn't be able to proceed with my surgery as scheduled. Now, I wasn't splurging and cheating all day. It would literally be a taste of 3 fries, or a bite of Pasta, or a chicken sandwich. So, on the morning of my surgery I asked a nurse about my cheating and I was surprised when she said "as long as you didn't eat anything before midnight you're fine".

I later found out she went to ask my surgeon about this question (which I was trying to keep from him -.- )

Lol, but all was well! All IS well. Continue dieting and making better choices. Do not beat yourself up if you slip up! Pace yourself, commend yourself and be your number one supporter when it comes to this experience.

Congrats on everything and I wish you well with your new journey! ????

YES!!!! I cheated. More than once. More than twice. It was at night, late. I think overall I did really well.

I really dreaded it. I was afraid of feeling bad bad weak and having headaches. Thank goodness I didn't have to quit caffeine, just no sugar cream etc. I think what helped me the most is starting my variate iv Vitamins two weeks before my liquid pre op diet. I am very concerned about hair loss and feeling bad. I gotta tell ya, I only felt bad one day of the diet, day two. TODAY OS MY LAST DAY!!! Tomorrow is surgery. I made it!!! Almost anyway.

I'm on day 2. 1200 calories or less. 150 grams carbs. 40 grams of fat max. The creamy box Soups, V8 spicy, yogurt, Jello and the Protein Shakes are my main staples. Just make sure I have something every hour or 2. Good luck! I'm too much of a scardy cat to cheat.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
