May 17th is my day, I just started pre op diet today. My doc recommended 2 Protein Shakes and 1 meal of 4oz of Protein and vegetables. I can't wait. [emoji4]

Hello
If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take to get your appt date? Did you have to complete a 3 month dietitian requirement?

Hello. I'm new to this forum stuff. I started my journey to approval in October, 2016 and finally got approved and my surgery is scheduled for May 31, 2017. Excited but so nervous. Glad to meet fellow May sleevers!

My date is May 30...I'm also new to the forum and nervous! Now that I've got a surgery date, I'm starting to tell people in my life. It's a relief. :)

My surgery is scheduled for May 15th 2017 and I am so excited! However, my doctor does not have me on an all-liquid diet. Instead, I am on a high Protein, low fat, no sugar/Carb diet 2 weeks before surgery. I was a bit concerned because I had never heard of this before. He explained the 2-week diet beforehand is only to make my liver smaller and the same can be accomplished with the 2-week diet he provided. Has anyone else ever heard of a doctor doing this? :wacko:

EDIT Sorry seems like i found the answer to this after reading all posts lol. Anyone out there scheduled for the 15th?

I'm on the 15th as well and have the same diet as your doctor prescribed. Started pre-op today! I assume you did too? How did you fare so far?

      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. 🤞
