Luckily, I didn't have to throw out temptations...The premiere Protein shakes....almost suppress my hungee...which is awesome!..I went to brunch yesterday with my friends and had a side salad (light dressing) and a fruit cup and my Protein Shake on ice. I watched them eat..and never felt tempted! Thank you God for my strength & determination!

On day 3 now and it's a little better. Just get used to being hungry and have the focus on the "final prize". Good luck everyone!

I'm on day two and am already tired of the sweet Protein shakes. 3/15 needs to hurry up!!

How many days do you have to do it? Im on day 4 with 2 left. I . know the pain. I am not saying its the thing to do but I actually chewed on a cucumber, piece of chicken & piece of steak. With each I counted 25 chews then spit it out. It took that nasty Protein Shake taste out of my mouth and I didnt swallow it. AGAIN not that it is the thing to do but its all I had

I have to do it for ten days. I'm going to drink some chicken broth and use some for the injury chicken Soup powder and hope that helps!

its hard I know it is. Stay strong. Try and find what works for you. I am not a sweet eater at all so the shakes are hard for me. The broth helps. I also saw someone post they used egg drop Soup and drained it and miso soup. I did that with Ramen I just didnt use the noodles. I thought my struggle would be wine. We drink wine with dinner everynight and I have been 100% ok with not having that. The reality hit me in the face it is my food that I struggle with. Also SF Jello helps. Sorry I am not much help I am new to all of this too. Youve got this you can do it.

No, you've been very helpful!! I plan to take full advantage of the SF popsicles and Jello. I didn't think about using the ramen flavor packs. I'll have to try that out again! Everything I've read says the first few days are the hardest so if I can just make it past those and think about why I'm doing this I'll be fine! Thanks again! And good luck with your journey as well!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
