So far all I have to do is clear liquid for 3 days prior. I cant have Protein Shakes in that 3 days. Just juices,water, broth, Jello and popsicles.

I am getting so anxious, y'all! I have no nerves but the anticipation is killing me. I am just so ready to get back to the normal me before I gained this weight this last year. It's frustrating but I have to remember things are going to change again and all will be well!

I am excited that I will have surgery late July or early August and I am so glad to have found this forum!

I was shocked to hear my surgeon say I needed to be on Protein Shakes for 3 weeks prior to surgery. I had always heard 1-2 weeks and some people even less. I understand the importance of doing this to help shrink the liver, but I was surprised.

Anyone else have to do 3 weeks?

Wow 3 weeks!? I have to do a low carb diet starting 2 weeks before surgery then 2 days before surgery Clear Liquids only.

Girl I feel you. The anticipation is crazy!!! I spend so much time here, looking at VSG accounts on Instagram or on Facebook in a couple WLS groups. I know your not supposed to wish time away but sometimes I really wish I could fast forward time. I have been using this time though to get prepared. Each week when I go grocery shopping I buy some chicken broth, unsweetened applesauce, Protein Shakes and other supplies so that I don't have to buy so much at once.

I had my psych evaluation Friday and received an email from the NP that my information is going to my insurance company for approval by Wednesday.

I'm terrified and excited at once.

The informational seminar I attended in December stated that I would have to do a diet beginning two weeks prior to surgery, Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and Lean Cuisine for dinner.

My big issue right now: that little voice in the back of my mind saying "eat all of the (insert trigger foods/drinks here) you can now, while you still can!"

I've come too far already to cave into my stupid emotional cravings.

My insurance requires a 6 months of "weigh in visits" as I was told. I am scheduled for my 3rd visit and psychological evaluation on April 20th. I have to have a sleep study (that I get to do at home) and a EGD. My last visit will be in July and praying for a Aug surgery date. Lots to do in the coming months..including planning my son's wedding in October !

Hey all! I was just approved last week & I set my date for June 7th. I'm a teacher so I scheduled it for the first available date after school gets out. I'm so excited/nervous!

Saw the surgeon today to get the results of my upper GI. He said while I have reflux, there was nothing to keep him from doing the surgery, and said "It will be in 3 months"! So although I don't have a specific date yet, looks like I'm joining this club :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
