I don't start my liquid diet until Wednesday the 29th. Surgery is Tuesday the 5th! My BFF had hers on 6/21 and is home and doing great! I'm so excited to take this journey with her even if I'm a couple weeks behind....

I have a question, when you all speak of your "liquid diet" is that the two-week pre-op diet? Is it completely liquids only? I'm asking because the pre-op diet my doctor gave me is obviously mostly Protein shakes, but we are allowed to eat oatmeal, chicken, egg whites, vegetables. It is not all liquid.< /p>

Yes that is what everyone means. But not everyone is on just liquids. My doctor just requires me to have low carb.

Depends. At my previous attempt at VSG it was all liquids, between shakes and broth.

This attempt it is still mostly shakes, but plan allows for sugar free Jello, pudding, cream of what/oatmeal, light yogurt, and raw veggies.

As I've said before, you could create a book as deep as the Grand Canyon for how may different varieties of the pre-op diet there are.

      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.
