I'm scheduled for November 2nd. Start my two week preop liquid diet tomorrow. It is the part of the journey I'm the most worried about.

Good luck DuckOfEvil. I just received my date today - Nov 14. I am concerned about the pre-op diet as well. I've yet to find a Protein Drink that I can tolerate the taste of.

Thanks Faith! My program has specific line of products I have to use called New Direction. Hope they taste good. Personally I liked the taste of the powdered "muscle milk" I found that one (of the ones I've tried) the best.

Have you tried any of the high Protein milks? Fairlife is 13 grams of protein in 8 ounces and it's good. Carbmaster (Kroger brand. Don't know if you have Kroger in your area) is another high protein milk that I like.

She is on FB and Pinterest too.

Good luck to you as well.

I'm glad my program is just like "here eat this" and takes all the thinking out of it for me!

Had preop testing today. Preop office visit with my surgeon next week. Looks like this is really going to happen.

Hi DuckOfEvil,

Thank you for the information. I don't have a Kroger but I am going to check the protein suggestions you mentioned. How did your liquids day go today? Was it easier than you were expecting?

Thinking of you.

Faith

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
