I'm set for April 5th. I was originally set for September 2016 but one of my pre-opt tests showed an issue I needed to address. That's done and I'm finally rescheduled and hopefully on my way. Fingers crossed!

I have my surgery scheduled for April 5th!!!!! YAY!!!! I am doing my 2 week liquid diet starting today.

I'm April 5th too! I'm new to this forum but am glad to have found surgery buddies. I just started my pre-op diet. It's actually not required but I want to have the best chance for success possible, so here I am. Already cranky!

Welcome!!

My surgeon requires 2 weeks of clears. 4-5 Protein Shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free hello and sugar free caffeine free uncarbonated drinks. This pre op diet is no joke. I'm on day 6/14...

I don't have a pre-op diet either. Just a one day restriction when it gets closer to April 5th. But I also started one just to get my mind in the right mood. To prove to myself that I can do this!

Yay!!! Congratulations! Waiting until next week to find out your date stinks, but at least you know that you'll find out soon. Enjoy your last days of eating freely. :71_smiling_imp:

Tomorrow can't come any faster. I'll post my date tomorrow as soon as I find out.

Hey guys, what kind of broth did you buy/will buy for after the surgery? I'm not sure which one is the best choice.

      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. 🤞
