Just stick with it, stray away from temptation, and stay occupied!! It gets better! My worse was on day 4, now I'm on day 11 and i don't even want any solids.

I am having my surgery on January 19th. I have had issues with getting headaches because i ALWAYS eat Breakfast and the Protein shakes are not what my body is used to for my main meal. there is not much i can do for it just keep to my diet. they said it would get better.

Marissa,

I go under on the 13th as well. How have you found your pre-op liquid? Luckily, I haven't really had any real hunger pains and really look forward to my evening broth everyday. I don't know if you do anything to kick your broth up a notch but I have found that chicken broth with a good dash of Caribbean Jerk seasoning does the trick!

Hi!

That's very exciting! Only 5 more days for us! I find the liquid diet fairly easy for me and now I also find that im not as hungry as when I first started this diet. Yes the chicken broth is kind of plain! I will definitely try the seasoning with it and see how that is! Thanks! :)

Hi All,

I have surgery on Monday the 11th and I'm very nervous ! I hate the thought of surgery and going under . I wish the anxiety would go away , I want everything to go smooth ! My brother had it a year ago and he did great ! I'm hoping for the same! Good luck everyone ????

      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.
