Try to drink you Protein Shake slowly. That is what has been helping me. I am 4 days into the Pre-op diet.

I'm reading alot about pre-op diets being 2 weeks or a month. Mine is only 5 days for Mexico surgery. Has anyone else had that short of one and the surgery went fine?

Mine is 5 days. It went from 2 weeks to 5 because my BMI isn't high enough according to the doctor (40) to require 2 weeks and the surgeon opened another day. I think 2 weeks is the general requirement that fits most people.

Oh, I don't know the range. I barely qualify for the surgery with my insurance. I just know the Pre-op is to shrink your liver, so he may have also looked at my ultrasound. It could be a lot of variables, but since it was shorten it makes me feel like I really better not mess up. So, just follow your plan to the letter. :-)

      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.
