I wonder if these surgeons require different preop diets for different patients or if each program just has its protocol. Seems cruel to require pre-op liquid unless you need to shrink your liver.

Core Protein elite is delicious too. For a dessert treat I occasionally drink the strawberry banana which has more sugar but I just count it in my daily allowance.

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...

I am so glad everything went well and I believe that you will definitely have a speedy recovery. Thank you for the experienced information it helps to calm any possible fears trying to grow.

I am excited for you. I know that everything has gone well and you are resting easy. Thanks for the idea of having your husband take before pictures. I am going to use that. I can't wait to hear all about your experience. 😊

Well I'm a bit flustered. I Just got a call and surgery was moved to Monday. Talk about annoyed. So now my surgery date is July 17th at 9am. Causing some issues with time off and stuff. Ugh

Tomorrow is surgery day!!!!! Have to be at the hospital at 6 and surgery is for 7.
I am excited but calm. I am at peace knowing God brought me to this and He will bring me through it. I started on January 24, 2017 , that first appt that made 6 mo seem so far away......
This forum has been such a blessing. Everyone here always ready to give support, encouragement and advice.
I am on my way to the losers bench and will check in when I can.
On July 21, 2017 I will be giving birth to the bellydancer who lives inside me. I am so excited to watch her grow smaller and dance and move with grace and ease as I have watched so many times in my mind. I have always danced but my health declined and my weight have made it nearly impossible in the past 6 yrs.
Keep a spot warm for me....here I come!!!!!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
