I haven't been very good with pre-op diet. I'm starting all Protein Shakes on Sat and hope my liver shrinks enough. I don't want them to get in there and say nope and close me back up.

My surgeon didn't make it sound like he wouldn't do it if my liver wasn't "shrunk" enough. He just explained that the bigger it is the more in the way it can be and might possibly be more prone to injury when they try to keep it out of their way with the surgical instruments during the procedure.

Mine said the same . But my moms told me from her experience they will close you back up if it's too big .

I've have been naughty my previous op diet. The question Is why are there some people who don't have to do a pre op diet at all? Oh well, such as life. I have 19 more days pre op so I will nail this!!

I had 2 friends who had their surgeries last year and both only had to do a light diet 3 days prior to op

      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. 🤞
