Me too...I'm on day 7. The first 5 days were horrible, but yesterday I seemed to have turned a corner. Thank goodness because I am one of those people that gets "hangry" and for those first 5 days, I wanted to kill everyone and everything in my path! LOL!

However, I will say that warm liquids are your friend and will help you to feel the most satisfied. Try to stick with those! Hang in there! You CAN do this!!!

I'm on the pre-op diet to at the moment, day six for me. Mine is two shakes and then light dinner, so not 100% liquid. I definitely felt like it got easier after the third day. Day 2 and 3 were really rough. I was hungry and tired pretty much all day. Day 6 though and I'm doing alright.

So, with it only being 2 days you probably won't have time to get "used" to it, but this phase will be over soon at least.

Some people need to do two weeks. You can do two days

My surgery is tomorrow, Jun 7th. I've been on this liquid diet for two weeks! I'm down 13 lbs. I'm a 54 yr old male war veteran and haven't been this nervous in a long time. Is it too late to change my mind? Maybe I just won't show up. Will they come looking for me? Lol

I do not think they will most definitely go looking for you, but it will just be your loss.

You came to far to turn back or have al change of mind. There is also lot we have to go through for this special gift that GOD has awarded you a NEW LIFE. DO NOT GIVE UP, HANG IN THERE.I promise you you will be soooooooooo much happier later.☺☺

Keep drinking fluids...whatever your plan allows because it definitely helps. I'm on Day 9 of 14 and it's definitely gotten better. For me, it's been a good lesson in what is actual hunger and what is "head" hunger.

You WILL make it!

      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. 🤞
