Spectra13, thank you!! I hope you mean pre-op, as my surgery is a few says away. I won't lie, I didn't do so well on my first week. I ate Protein and veggies, as my nutritionist requested- but I might have cheated a tiny little bit ????. However, I started my liquid diet today! I've had 2 shakes, and a loooot of sugar free iced tea. I'm hungry, but determined! I won't cheat on this one, promise! Haha

Are you having your surgery soon? Have you done one already? Wishing you the best!!

Same here???????? Do you have to do the pre op diet because I see everyone is different when it comes to the pre op diet. I am on week one of my two week 1000 calorie diet.

I've read so much and watched so many videos that I am just ready to get the surgery behind me. Not looking forward to the liquid diet but it's only two weeks.....so it should be good.

My surgery is 9/20 and I'm yet to hear anything about a pre-op diet

I start my pre op diet on the 5th. When is your last office visit!?

My last visit is the 12th

I would call. That's very odd. You should be starting sooner than that.

Hi all. I am 9/19/16. Anxious and ready. I am 48 year old and have battled pcos since my mid 20's.

Sw 276

Cw 269 (and not budging)

Goal. To eliminate all diabetes meds and improve my health. And of course want to lose some weight along the way.

My husband is getting sleeved too. He hasn't got his date yet but he is hoping for November.

Still waiting for the final approval from Cigna. But they set my date. Cigna not easy even with the uncontrolled diabetes. High blood pressure. Severe sleep apnea and pcos. First letter of denial because not medically necessity? Crazy! I KNOW it will get approved.

Glad to see some September sleepers out there. Live in and love this site.

      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.
