I'm actually pretty good on the liquid/reduced calorie diet. I have 4 Protein shakes a day and can have sugar free Jello and certain vegetables. I started this on Monday last so it's almost a week and I can't say I'm starving or craving anything really. I was really weak on Tuesday with the drastic decrease in calories, but I sometimes don't even get all 4 pouches in.

But I am very low mobility now due to other illnesses unrelated to my weight so I don't move very much and don't use much energy. The hope is that after the weight loss, I'll be able to move more easily with less pain.

I can say it's more of a mind thing. I realize how much mindless eating I did! My hubby sits next to me watching tv and stuffs his face - oh he would hate me saying that lol - with Cookies or chips and what bothers me more is not that I can't have any but the amount he's eating! And that I used to eat that many too! PS - it did bother me the first 2 days, now I'm ok with it ;)

Good luck everyone!! Y'all can do this!! Have the final goal in mind!! :)

So I have my surgery on 12/29/2016 and I am in my 1000 calorie diet. The first 2 days I was like OMG I need a cheeseburger I am so hungry and then my husband was like can u pick me up some Burger King. I go there and yes I ate 1 nugget but I really wanted a cheeseburger. But I am hanging in there and getting ready for this 3 day liquid diet. That's what I am scared of, does anybody have any suggestions on how to make it through these 3 days of liquids.< /p>

Chew on things you like just for taste an spit it out. Its gotten me through my last 1st week ugh.

Today is my last day of the liquid diet before I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow morning. Surgery is on Thursday morning at 7:30am! I'm so nervous. Liquids were so hard, and I cheated one meal for Christmas. Back at it today though.

      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.
