I gave up the caffeine about 1 1/2 months ago. It was awful at first. Thank goodness that part is done at least. The sugar is my next struggle.

This is my routine....I have to have strength All liquid is not going to work because I am hypoglycemic and on meds,He prescribes a soft food diet

2 to 4 shakes

You can have cottage cheese or non sugared Greek yogurt or high Protein cream of wheat...must be watery.For dinner I have Soup ( no lumps,no sugar)or steamed spinach in broth with a small piece of steamed fish in miso broth.The first 3 days I could literally die...I am approaching the 5 th day and ok...no headaches but body aches and sleepiness ...drinking as much Water as I can.

I am in the process of trying different brands of Protein Shakes and powders....vega Protein is out! Yuck...trie pure protein in the can...nice but.Isopure is a big deal now...I had the green tea flavor...this is definitely a keeper...loaded with protein...Its fantastic...This is like a prep period.

I couldn't do this pre op diet if I hadn't given up caffeine beforehand...the Migraine would have been crazy and the ex derive would follow...and that's not good.

I started getting all the medical things I needed in March. Had an issue with insurance but that is now taken care of. I've has so longs to prepare. First I quite coffee, then soda. Soda was the hardest for me! I could no lie drink a two litter A day!!! I know how crazy that sounds now but I did. I'm vary proud that I've quit soda! :) but in all that time I feel I could have done more.

        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
