Good luck everyone! I am supposed to start my liver shrinking diet June 1 but am planning on starting a few days early to make up for some food funerals. I'm having real fears about being able to do this (give up the food). I was doing really well on the medically supervised diet until recently. My surgeon allows coffee but am thinking maybe I should cut it out. Anyway, after researching and waiting for so long now that it's almost here it seems unreal.

We really have a whole bunch of folks having June Bypass Surgery. That's great. Let's keep in touch and support each other. I have my Clear liquid day starting Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday I will also do a bowel prep with a bottle of Mag Citrate.

I feel like I've got a bunch of stuff to get "organized", so here's my tip for all so far.

Take a day or two off before Surgery. I wish I had done that. I'm working tonight and Monday night. I'll need to sleep some on Tuesday Morning which doesn't give me a lot of time on Tuesday to get ready!

@@Lemm61 Good idea on taking off before surgery. I am Tuesday, June 7, so taking off the Monday before, plus the weekend to make sure my house is ready and I am rested for surgery. Want to give myself every chance for success. No pre-op diet, so just eating healthily, with a few scattered food funerals. Good luck with your bedroom reno - post pics when you can.

I'm june 29,2016 Is anyone having trouble with smoking? And if so will you call your surgery off if you can't quit in 6 weeks??

I don't have my surgery date yet...but quitting smoking is the hardest thing for me!!!! My surgeon tests for nicotine and would cancel surgery....I have to quit!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
