@@Heatherg0907 think positive thoughts. I know how cliche and annoying it can be to hear that, but you truly can set yourself up for failure if you begin by thinking you're going to fail.

I will say a prayer for you and your success this time around!!

For the most part I am very positive and I'm very motivated to do this right. I really think having this forum and seeing how successful everyone is will help also. My husband is very positive and is with me all the way. I do however have some friends that have said they are afraid I will fail so I think that's where the negative thoughts come in. I can't wait for May 6th so I can't start my new healthy life. Thank you for your nice words. Good luck to you also. You are so close. Please let me know how everything goes. And I'll be praying for you!!

Hi this is my first time posting as well and my surgery date is April 11 I am on day three but not all liquid and I am craving carbs like crazy! I too have a supportive husband, but he's a chef! Lol he's used to bringing home meals etc. I'm not having to prep accept for myself and I find wanting something to crunch on is getting me. I'm seriously thinking of freezing small broth ice cubes for Snacks.

What exactly can you have on preop diet, ideas please?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am allowed to have Protein shakes/drinks, Water, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, Decaf coffee/tea, calorie free decaf any type of drink.

I am a diabetic T2 and have to use everything that is sugar free, so it is hard for me to hit 800 calories a day on this diet (that is the amount of calories permitted).

I can have the same things. But also Greek yogurt plain with no fruit or chunks. It's pretty difficult... But I'm ending my third day and I think tomorrow will be a bit easier. I HOPE anyway. LoL. I do agree that getting 800 cals in is difficult. Ugh. It's not fun but it's a means to an end right?

I'm from Texas!

The liquid diet gets better! As long as you muscle through the first couple of days, it quits being miserable. My Bariatric Advantage vegetable Soup has been the best thing. Being able to eat something savory with a spoon has mentally made it so much easier. Plus, I'm stuffed after a small bowl of it.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yay! You're in the club of April dates. Haha I am from Maine. I was informed recently that a large percentage of Americans think that Maine is part of Canada. It's not.

Hahah. Geography is def. not one of my finer Points but I did know y'all aren't part of Canada. :) I'm from Nebraska! Brittney are you on ALL liquid only? I read where some are allowed high Protein low carb and then some are all liquids with certain exceptions of carrots. Salary etc etc.

      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.
