My surgery date is December 7, and I live in Marietta, Ga. I am currently grappling with the headaches and diarrhea that the liquid diet is causing, How are you doing with your liquid diet?

Hey hun. So sorry to hear you're struggling a bit. I haven't had any diarrhea yet. But the headaches are the devil..lol. I just keep telling myself it will pass. It's definitely a FIGHT aint it ! Are you getting Protein?

Hey hun @@anndriar15 ! Im doing well thanks for asking. Im a little down because my tastebuds changed soooo drastically and to be honest..All this sh!t Im trying to eat is nasty now. Im not interested in eating at all, so Im struggling to get fluids and Protein in It is quite an adjustment. My plus is Im dropping on the scale (of course).

Congratulations on your approval!!! Do you have a date? Keep in touch.

@@Dee~Dee I'm so elated everything went well with your surgery, I see it was on the 6th of December so you'll be coming up on one month post op, which is great!!! I'm scheduled for Jan 20th which will be approaching faster than I can blink... So I'm a little nervous, but excited at the same time, can you give me any insight? Especially on handling the Pre-Op Diet, Post-Op feelings, etc..

Pre-op diet is challenging but Im convinced its mostly a 'mind' thing. I actually enjoyed the Protein shakes, they helped me feel really full. I kept away from the restaurants and stocked my fridge early. I also practiced on and off for a couple weeks prior to pre-op start. What kind of pre-op diet did your surgeon give you?

Sounds Good!!! What type of Protein shakes did you get? I have Muscle Milk, in which I haven't tried yet, however I did try the Premier Protein brand and I enjoyed those... My pre-op diet consists of High Protein, low carb up until two-three days before surgery then I have to change up and do clear liquid... So my high protein diet should start tomorrow, in knowing that I kinda "BINGE ATE" for the past month or so, honestly I feel kinda sh*tty... I know better, but in my mind I had to get those last of the last meals in!!! So, starting Monday I have to really buckle down and train my mind to get on track because the 20th will be here before the blink of an eye!!! Any suggestions that you found helpful???

I used Premier Protein. To be honest, they were delicious before surgery but after surgery I can barely stand to drink them. As for tips for pre-op I dont have much.... Im a very competitive person, so even though the battle was in my own head, I went into it like a battle. When I was tempted I would ask myself 'who's gonna win this thing... The old you or the happier new you?' Everyday that passed got easier and my confidence got stronger.

      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.
