Tomorrow I go on the 3 day, clear liquid diet, before my Surgery on Wednesday. Man, the nerves are REALLY kicking in! Every time I think about it, I get butterflies.
Can you guys please just give me a little support and encouragement that I can wake up to tomorrow morning? Maybe it won't be so bad if I can look at the things you've said from time to time when it gets hard.

Girl if I could somehow manage to do this crazy thing and live this crazy life, you can too! You're ready for this, and this sounds schmutzy but I believe what you put out into the universe comes back to you. And you're putting out determination and readiness for a whole new awesome life. So be awesome. :)

You will do great! And good luck. You can make it for three days. I have been on it a week took one day off and now i am back in it for two more weeks. So you will breeze right through three days. Trust me, I did it and I thought I couldn't and was very surprised when I did it and didn't feel actual hunger. Just stick to a schedule and drink those shakes they do fill you up along with the Fiber. Good luck.

Wait. I can have Protein drinks? My books says all I can have is Water, Jello, popsicles, and broth! It wouldn't be so bad if I could have Protein drinks!

Hi! Well that's what's on my liquid diet. You should call your team or whoever is your nurse at your center and ask. It may be different but those Protein drinks won't hurt your weight loss diet or liver shrink diet.

Clear liquid diet does not include Protein shakes. This means you must be able to "see" through the liquids which include broth and Jello. The Preop liquid diet that is anywhere from 1-3 weeks depending on your BMI does include Protein drinks.

      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.
