I start the pre-op liquid diet in a few weeks, i'm not looking forward to that. I'm concerned about how I'm going to stick to it! What are everyone's major concerns about the surgery? For me it's the nausea and being able to intake enough fluids - I'm hoping for the best but going into it knowing it could be pretty difficult those first few months.


I'm so focused on the reactions of others (family) after surgery that I almost feel like getting a hotel room & saying I'm out of town for work until I'm ready to staying for a week until I'm ready to deal with people! [emoji23] (I realize that's crazy talk [emoji6])

For whatever reason, I have a good feeling about the recovery. [emoji51] I've been taking a lot of different Vitamins that are recommended pre-surgery & I've been doing low carb for 8 days now. It would be so much harder to start the liquid diet on June 14 if I was still eating lots of carbs, etc. I actually feel so much better already eating this way-which is ironic since I couldn't bring myself to eat healthy before, but now that I have HOPE again (Sleeve Hope), I'm loving eating healthy! Ugh! For me, I've been so depressed & hopeless for the past few years that I had given up. My surgery is the first thing I've been excited about for myself in a very long time, so I'm focusing on all of the things I miss...like looking good in jeans [emoji158] & being able to "squat" down in the store to look at the bottom shelf, crossing my legs comfortably, sitting with my legs crossed on the floor, walking up & down steps without feeling like I'm hurting my joints...feeling like I'm walking on pebbles when I get out of bed in the morning. [emoji175]

Looking to connect with anyone who is having their surgery preferably in June. A surgery buddy would be helpful I think! [emoji4]

I'm scheduled for this Monday the 12th of June. Getting kind of nervous.

Hello! I just joined because I found out yesterday that my surgery is June 27th. I am getting ready to start my pre-surgery diet. I was fine with everything till I got the call yesterday and now I'm pretty terrified. Excited but scared for the healing.

      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.
