One thing you will learn in this forum is that every person has various rules and recommendations given by their Nutritionist and Surgeon.

Some pre ops are 2 weeks, some longer and some don't have any at all.

Some are allowed solid meals all day, some like myself was only allowed 3 Protein shakes and one low carb meal a day, some only Protein Shakes, and some as yourself it sounds like clear liquids.

You will also notice vast differences in post op diet as well.

One thing I have learned is that regardless of what everyone else might be allowed, or is doing, I have to follow what my surgical team puts in line for me. If I trusted them enough to remove my stomach, I have got to trust them regarding my nutrition is well.

It sucks I know...but you will get through this. I promise.

Just keep coming back to this forum for motivation. The fabulous people on here are always willing to help.

The head hunger is the worst. Ugh. I'm so sorry you are dealing with that. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Plus your body is detoxing from all those chemicals and carbs we loved so much.

The whole pre diet is very intense but I am so proud of you for sticking with it and for not looking for ways to cheat. That shows you are committed and are ready to do what it takes. Give yourself a pat on the back.

You will have bad days, good days and days you will completely question your decision to have the surgery, but I promise you will get through it and settle into the new normal and find yourself forgetting all the bad stuff.

        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
