Hi healthychange32,

What kind of preop diet do you have? Mine is 2 Protein Shakes a day and a high Protein low carb dinner. I'm supposed to lose 8-12lbs prior to surgery.

There's also a private FB support group for all sleevers; those that are pre-op and years post-op as well. It's a HUGE group and family. It's called Gastric Sleeve Support Group. I'm 3 mos into my 6 mo pre-op stage.

November 2nd for me too. My uk surgeon's pre op diet is 4 pints of milk and 1 bouillon a day. Has said he prefers no Meal Replacement shakes but I am having 1 slim fast because it is thick and makes me feel a little fuller.

It's proper disgusting tho.

I'm adding sugar-free milk shake flavourings to the milk, that's quite nice.

I'm not a big user of social media but would love to join a Facebook group.

So far, third day of pre-op diet. It's ok.

Good luck everybody, the excitement helps with the diet.

      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.
