My surgery is coming up on June 27th and I start my liquid diet Monday. I am very nervous and I don't know if it's just the nerves or my habit of overthinking everything. But I keep getting a feeling that I'm making the wrong decision going threw with this. Or that I won't be able to do it. Did anyone else feel like this before their surgery? Does anybody have any regrets about having it done?

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

The beginning is tough but before long it'll be just a memory. Good luck to you!

I had recently got sleeved and I started to overthink and worry as my date got closer. I thought I wouldn't be able to have my fav dishes again...I thought something would go wrong.. I thought to myself "am I really ready for this?" But yes..I was.. I haven't had any complications. It's just a tool to get you started on your weight loss journey. .. that's how I see it now ???? before I went into the OR I cried because I was scared. But u knew I wanted and needed this and I also remembered my dad went through a bigger surgery than I was about to go through and he came out fine... I think if your really ready you'll know but thst over thinking is normal..good luck ????

Hi there! I had my surgery on June 01st. I was feeling just like you. You are doing the right thing for yourself. If you don't do it, then you will have regrets. Go on! Now is YOUR time!!!!

I always ask myself have I exhausted every Avenue to lose weight possible... I have. I think it's perfectly normal to question yourself about this surgery. This is life CHANGING!!! Which is so scary to those of us who have used food for comfort etc... your making the right decision... keep moving forward. What do you have to lose by getting the surgery? Nothing at all!!

I had worries before and regrets right after, but it was all worth every minute. I would not change a thing.

I have lost approx 70 pds and will hit my 6 month anniversary in a few days. I am super happy and proud of myself for pushing through the before and after.

I lost 26 pounds in the first 30 days after my op. I m almost 5 weeks out. I still can't eat much but I feel so much better. As for being afraid I think we all are before surgery. Regrets,none. So far. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
