Hey there! You got this. The pre-op diet is no walk in the park. You can do it! It's worth it :) I hope these help to encourage you!

I was very nervous when it was getting close. I don't have before and afters yet, but after surgery last week, I feel relaxed and very optimistic. My biggest hurdle was being prepared with what to eat/drink after. I suggest that you start stocking up a bit now. Post-op I could not take the sweet Protein shakes well, so plain that can be mixed into any drink was helpful. Also, you will forget to intake, and you don't want to get dehydration so start putting your self on a strick Water intake schedule now if you can. I suggest 8oz per hour from the first hour you wake up... like first thing, then so on until 2hrs before bed. Good luck! Keep us posted. You can do it!!

Good luck! The pre-op diet is tough but you'll get through it. Stick to the program and you'll be happy with the results!

Here I am pre-op, at close to 350, and at goal, 205.

      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. 🤞
