Yes the Pre op diet is not easy.but you want your surgeon to do a great job on the staple line and that liver needs to shrink in order for him to do so. So, it's a necessary evil. It will be over in a moment. And we will welcome you to the losers bench. Good luck.

I'm on the 19th. Started liquid diet today and I'm not going to lie, this sucks. All I keep telling myself is how worth it this process will be.

This liquid diet is no joke! I am trying to not pay attention to the days left to go on it since it seems like they are going so slow... Although I feel weird because I am eating quiet a lot... I am having a hard boiled egg as a snack, 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese (may be a cup...) and also non-fat greet yogurt. It was very comforting to have hot chicken broth. (all in between my Protein shakes)

The headache is not going away... anyone else feeling this? I alse get tons of thoughts about this...what am I doing? I miss food! I am starting to mourn my relationship with food and ready to start a new one...

I did my surgery on December 6 and today i feel very well, the first 2 days after surgery were a bit hard i felt some pain in my chest and my shoulders due to the gas in my stomach and also i felt lots of acidity each time i drink Water, apple juice but today i am much better i am on clear liquid diet now, i am having clear Soup, Water, apple and grape juices,, i am still missing food when i see my family eating steaks, burgers etc but i hope this feeling will improve day after day. I like people here to share their experiences and support me as well.

I'm glad to see it gets better!! Today has been just very uncomfortable. I've never had acid reflux or anything but all day I have felt like something is stuck! I want a cup of milk so bad and my head is killing me.

So far its just the gas pain thats bothersum. Just got home a few hours ago. I stayed at yhe hospital 2 nights because my surgery was push after some emergency surgerys i wasnt out of surget untill 9pm. Im healing ok. My first drink of Water gave me a narly burning sensation in my cheat but the gave me plenty of pepsid and that did the trick. Im pretty content right now watchin tv and sipping Water. No real appetite but boy do i miss warm food lol. My kids are 8 and 4 year old twins so i didnt discuss it with them. I didnt want to scare them. They are with thier grandparents for the weekend so im sure when thy come back i wont in so much pain

      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.
