I am really struggling tonight... Day 4 if liquid diet and 11 days to go. Really thinking maybe a life without garlic bread isn't really a life at all??? I know this is only 2 weeks out of the rest of my life but dang!

For me at least days 2- 4/5 were the worst. After that it was fairly smooth. Good luck!!

Today is day 4 for me and it's the worst one yet. I'm praying that I get tired soon and can just go to sleep. Luckily there's nothing here so I couldn't cheat if I wanted to.

Hey Teresa, I'm here in Texas as well. I have two more dietician meets and then they schedule me. My dietician did speak about the two week liquid diet but my dr hasnt. Not that I've seen him as much. I'd assume I'd have to as well. I've done a nice day before which was great. It's honestly not to difficult. Keep in your head this is for an amazing cause.

It is so weird w the different preop diets. I'm getting sleeved on the 22nd...it's officially day 3 of 7. Pure awfulness i agree. It's pretty strict not even Protein shakes or Protein Water. I tracked the calories and I took in 177 calories yesterday. Lol I'm salavating over the thought of a Protein shake. But it's only one week I guess. What surprised me is needing to be close to the bathroom. Anyway it'll soon be a memory folks and we'll be on that losers bench!!

That seems way to low. My Protein Shakes are 120-150 calories each and require 3-5 a day. Even the new Atkins Lift drinks are 100 calories each.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
