I'm so glad I don't have a strict pre op diet. I have lost about 6 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks just not eating bread, rice and Pasta. That's all my dr requires.

My surgery is on May 24th. I will have a 2 week pre-op liver reduction diet. I am excited but nervous. I have only today a few people, most of which have been amazingly supportive and understanding. I can't wait to officially be on the losers bench!

Hi Surgery Buddy! I had my pre-op appointment today with the nurse and nutritionist and for lab work. My appointment with the Dr is also on Monday! I'm super excited, first day on liquid diet - so far so good. How long does your doctor keep you off work? Mine is 3 wks. I just can't even picture what I will look like by Christmas, maybe I actually won't mind having my picture taken! Isn't it fun to think about all the things that will be different?

Oh my gosh I'm so excited I can't stand it!! My goal weight is 140 so I need to lose about 115 lbs. My dr said he expects me to lose all of that and possibly more which I can't really even fathom! I feel super lucky that I don't have to do the pre op liquid diet. And they didn't give me a specified amount of time to stay out of work. The lady I talked to today to schedule my surgery said 2 weeks but since I don't have a physically strenuous job I may be ready to go back after 1 week... But that if my job isn't being supportive he'd sign Leave papers for however long I wanted lol Where are you located? I'm in Atlanta. So many questions!!!

      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.

      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.
