Hi everyone! I'm a new comer. This is my first day as a liquid diet. My surgery is scheduled for February 8 and my pre-op is January 31. I feel nervous, excited and ready for everything to be over so I can start shedding the pounds. Anyone have any helpful hints to survive the liquid diet?

Keep yourself busy, and definitely keep on schedule of your diet guidelines. For me it was 3 shakes a day + 3 other smaller Protein sources. I got a kit from my clinic to do the 2 week diet. So I had a variety of Soups (just different broths more or less) and mixes to make Fruit drinks. Sticking to the schedule helps take the edge off. There were one or two days where I missed a Soup "meal" and it threw me off.

I'll admit that some nights were kind of tough and I just went to bed early. It was better than sitting in front of the tv thinking of food. The first few days are the hardest. After the first week it's been easy for the most part. You have to keep telling yourself that cheating could destroy all that you've worked for. My doc put the scare into me that he won't do the operation if he gets in there and sees your liver hasn't gone down.

If you've got hobbies then keep busy with those. That helped me out a lot.

Heading out to the hospital in about an hour. Good luck to you guys as you finish up your pre-op weeks. Final weight was 318.2 and started the two weeks at 336. Been tough but worth it.

See you on the other side!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
