Good luck Brandi, you on liquid diet?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. My physician only requires liquid diet one day before surgery. They also told me that I shouldn't have any pain. They'll give me a shot that will keep the area numb for several days

Omg you guys are lucky I am on day 7 of 14 day liquid diet

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's must be really hard. I'm glad I only have to do it one day. My surgeon and insurance didn't require me to lose weight before surgery. I just couldn't gain during my 6 months of weight mgmt

I'm required to do an all liquid diet for 7 days prior to surgery. The purpose is to shrink the liver. I'm so not looking forward to it. I have decided to remove all food from my home and donate to a local food bank. I figure it removes any temptation. Lord help me! Lol

That does sound difficult. Good job removing all temptation. That was a smart idea. I am not doing a liquid diet until the day before surgery. I have been on a 1200 cal no carb diet since 12/28. I am starting to get used to it.

      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.
