I am super excited and very nervous but I cant wait to lose enough to get off my medicine to feel better. I am looking forward to fit into normal clothes. I wish all success in their upcoming surgeries and strength in the upcoming pre op diets. we can do this!!! we have come this far we will succeed. positive juju sprinkled everywhere lol:D:778_heartbeat::785_cross:

So is mine.

When do you start your pre op diet. I have endoscopy on July 20th.

My Dr has not started me on any pre op diet.🤔 I don't see him until the endoscopy.

Sitting in the surgical suite, surgery in 2 hours. Still unsure if I'm doing the right thing. Is this normal? Too late now I guess....

Have a great surgery and a speedy recovery.:)

With my surgery a little over 3 weeks out I seriously feel for all you guys on liquid diets. I've added Protein Shakes to mine, as well as BCAAs but that was at my discretion and in addition to my normal diet. Stay strong everyone! Remember, vodka has no carbs! [emoji6]

I was sleeved 4 days ago. At the recovery room I was in and out but they let my parents see me and everything I remember saying is that it was hot lol... My incisions barely hurts, I do get chest pain from time to time so I take 20mg of Pepcid complete twice a day and for the gases I take Gas-X which has been very helpful...

This is my second day at home and I am under liquids, I have to make sure I drink 60-80 gram of Protein and take my vitamins... My appetite went away so I can see my family eating and I'm not craving to eat the same...

Congratulations I just got mine too. July 14th... I'm on the pre on diet and trying to fight through the hunger. Why are you on liquid so soon? They have me on 1 high Protein but 400-500 calorie meal and replacing 2 meals with Protein Shake.

Congratulations, I get sleeved on July 11th and my doctor told me not to diet before the surgery





I'm noticing that every surgeon requires something different. You have to b on a liquid diet at least 2-3 days before right? Some are asked to be on one for 13 days

      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. 🤞
