I wasn't forced to do a preop diet but I prepared for the surgery for a while so I practiced things. I gave up soda and caffeine before the surgery so I wouldn't get headache withdrawals. I also practiced not eating for emotional reasons, which was hard.

My surgery date is May 9th this coming Monday. I would love to keep in touch with people who are getting sleeves around the same time as well. I am currently in the 2nd week of my Doctor's required Liver shrink liquid diet. Can you say hard?

How are you doing so far? Did you have any pre-op requirements?

Because I am not sure that I am disciplined enough to eat sensibly afterwards. Not sure I can cope without my comfort foods. Worried about excess skin. Angry that I can't just diet to lose weight like "normal" people. etc, etc

What did you decide? I was sleeved on the 5th and I have had my rough days however I am down 20 lbs, off diabetes and blood pressure meds! I go to a local support group once a week and I also talk on here. I may eventually add in some therapy but that is just to take her of me mentally after already choosing to take care of myself physically. Its not going to be easy but after 8 days I am feeling better and lookomg forward to the future.

I had mine may 2nd :) woo! No regrets. I was insanely scared and having horrible anxiety but I had been putting my surgery off for a year so finally just did it and I am so happy I did. I've already lost 14 pounds. Would love to hear how you did! Good vibes your way.

This is my last weekend before I begin pre-op diet (only for 3 days before my sleeve surgery, which will be 5/24). I don't want to go overboard, but I will be drinking vino and coffee this weekend, two of my favorite beverages. I know that once I'm sleeved, those will be no-nos, at least for the 1st several months.

I am not looking forward to the headaches that will come from caffeine withdrawal and the liquid pre-op fast, but since I'm come this far on my journey....ONWARD AND UPWARD!

      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. 🤞
