I don't have to start my diet until February 1st but OMG this is going to be hard. I had a practice run yesterday and fell off the wagon. It was a small slip, but a slip nonetheless and I am sure it's because I know in the back of my mind it is a practice run. I need to have more vegetables on hand.

I am going do lot of prep work with salads and veggies this weekend (make some spaghetti squash with garlic salt and Pam and some seasoned baked Kale chips) and I have plenty of Protein Powder, Isopure drinks, and broth on hand. I am getting more intimidated by this 2 week diet than the procedure itself!

The 2 week diet is challenging. I am 8 days in. After the 1st 3 days, you really don't think about it anymore. I ate a lot of sugar free Jello and sugar free ice pops between. Also, I halved my shakes so I only mixed 1/2 at a time and ate them every 3 hours or so.

Ok, I'm definitely having broth tonight!!! Who knew me and my sweet tooth would be so OVER dessert-y shakes? I'm on the Optifast Meal Replacements and they're not that bad at all! I just can't anymore.

I am only on day two of twelve and had a cup of broth today and I agree it was amazing!!! My NUT told me I could strain a can of chicken noodle Soup or beef and vegetable soup if I wanted more flavor. There is definitely more broth in my future!

I had my broth about an hour ago and I'm still satisfied. It was sooooo good!!!! I think if I drained chicken noodle I'd be tempted to eat the noodles lol!!! But that sounds really good!

After surgery and my two weeks of liquids, I think I will actually make more Soups when I make dinner for the family so that I can have that as an option.

My surgery is Feb. 9th and I start liquid on the 2nd. Question- can we chew gum- sugar free of course? Before or after surgery?

We're surgery twins ???? minus the 1 week pre-op diet, I've been on my pre-op for 3 weeks now ???? only required to do two but surgery got pushed to the 9th and I didn't feel like starting over

I've been chewing gum and can't imagine why it would be a problem, unless you're a gun swallower ????

Not sure about before but I was told to wait at least 6 months after so the acid production caused by chewing won't harm your healing stomach!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
