I have my pre-op at the hospital today (around 10:30). Surgery next Friday (11/18). So far on my pre-op diet (low carb) I've lost 3lbs.

Congrats! I hate this liquid diet. I'm turning into a crybaby! I can see that I will probably be rather emotional after surgery. Ugh

How are you handling Thanksgiving if your on liquids and surgery is after the holiday? I'll be on my 2 week liquid 500 cal a day diet. Surgery is Nov 29th

Perhaps some Tomato Soup if that is allowed per your doctor recommended diet? Some of those are low in calories, but I don't know about sugar/carbs/fat. Definitely check with your nutritionist. I'm sure they hear that question a lot.

I'm sorry you're on a liquid diet. At least after surgery you get full faster so maybe it won't be so hard, but before surgery nothing has changed so I can't imagine how hard that is.

She and I have the same Dr. It's Protein shakes, h2o, broth, Jello and popsicles.

Okay. Mine is similar, but not exact.

I use adobo seasoning with pepper from the my Latin market to add flavor to my broth, which I love. Others have said they made broth with carrots, celery, seasoning, then strained it to add more flavor. I also found a Thai seasoned chicken stock (nutritional information fit guidelines of what I could have) at my local Wegman's. I'd probably be okay with that and Protein Shakes. Maybe have a caramel flavored one (premiere Protein is what I use) for "dessert".

My surgery was Nov 4th. I'm a week post op. I got the preop jitters the morning of my surgery. My surgeon went over the complications of the surgery with my husband and I, and he said he's never seen or heard of anything happening in surgery. It's how well YOU follow directions post op. You'll be fine :) just follow your post op diet, walk around every hour, and keep hydrated and you'll be on the right track.

Don't be scared.

I was. But it was not anywhere as bad as I thought it would be.

I had the sleeve. Took less than 45 min.

Even with all my health issues I went home the next day.

To me the worst thing is the GAS.

      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.
