Just completed day one of my 14 day liquid diet! Already sick and tired of drinking Protein Shakes but am going to do this because I have a goal to meet! Let's do this journey together!

Hello!

That's my date too...BUT Im still waiting on the final approval so its a bit nerve wracking! Im supposed to start by liquid diet on Friday the 18th. I have been easing into it though....by getting all my Water in, eating cottage cheese for lunch, Protein shakes & then some Protein at dinner. I should be approved any day!! Argghhhh

How is your pre-op going? How are you feeling about it all?

On 2nd day and am doing ok! Was a little difficult yesterday but a lot better today! Only problem I had was the constant running to the bathroom to tinkle most of the night. When I got up I weighed myself and had actually lost 3.5lbs (I know it's Water weight but I'll take)! Can't wait for the next 13 days to end!

If my boobs get bigger than my tummy I am 2 seconds from being anorexic. With the weight I am a 38C! I know I am going to say bye bye to them real soon! Hope to go no lower than a 36B!

I have same surgery date and am on day 2 of Optifast. Yesterday was hard. So far, vanilla with extra vanilla extract and ice is my favorite shake so far. Have you tried the Soup yet? chicken is surprisingly flavorful. Lost 2.8 pounds in one day. I'm curious to see how many pounds I'll loose in the next 2 weeks.

The first day is was down 3,5lbs and this morning another 1,5lbs - 5lbs in 2 days!! Went to Dr. today and he said with exercise I could lose from 15 to 20lbs by surgery day but on average at least 10lbs. I will take it!!! 3rd day and so far I am not killing anyone in the family. Good Luck!

That's my date as well. I just finished day 4 of 11 on my Optifast diet. It hasn't been that bad. I've lost 10 lbs already. The chocolate shake and the chicken flavored Soup are the best. It will be interesting to go a full week at work on this liquid diet.

It looks like we are having the surgery on same date with same surgeon!!! Awesome. My arrival time is 7:30am. One week to go. I can't believe I made it through a week of Optifast!

Good luck. Maybe I'll see you in recovery. LOL

      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.
