That is great news that your surgery date is just a little over 2 weeks away! Congratulations! Is your diet straight liquids? It's amazing to me how the diets all vary so much.

I started my diet on Sunday because I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow and didn't want to weigh more than the last time I saw my surgeon since I'd been a pig lately. I am going to have one last splurge meal though tomorrow night because my official pre-op diet is to officially start on the 30th. Anyway, so far the pre-op diet of 3 Unjury shakes during the day and a Lean Cuisine meal for dinner has actually gone well. I haven't minded it at all, but I am sure by next week I am going to be really sick of it. I will say that the strawberry sorbet Unjury is pretty gross though so I have tried mixing it with sugar free Jello and it's not quite as digusting, but it's still not great. Surgery on April 6th!!

Congratulations on getting your date and good luck with the diet. Keep in touch. :)

Will do. A few vsg vlogs on Youtube have people buying and eating this : https://www.amazon.com/Protidiet-Creamy-Chicken-Soup-Pouches-Net/dp/B001FUEY56/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1490730663&sr=8-1&keywords=chicken+soup+with+proti

I leave for vacation tomorrow night, but when I get back in a couple of weeks I'm going to order some. I also saw that some people will use regular chicken broth and add flavorless Protein Powder in it as well. Sounds disgusting, but whatever works to get that Protein down in the beginning is what we want and will do, I guess.

      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.
