I just got my surgery date, and it's August 16th! Soooo relieved and happy this is going to happen. Scared too, but determined.


I think that will be my date too, but I still need to confirm. Do you have a 2 week liquid diet too?

Yes, I will have to do the 2 week liquid diet too. I was told it would be two meal-replacing shakes a day and a dinner with strict guidelines (like 4 oz. lean Protein, veggies). Good luck on getting your date!

Congratulations! I'm Aug 22nd but I've know for several weeks. Are you required to do the liquid pre-diet?

What part of England? I studied there for a year during university and have fond memories :)

So I'm not doing it through the NHS (because the waiting list is disastrous) which is why it's like oh doctor meeting was last week and already a date might be set, I do have to do the diet I'm meeting with a dietitian on Tuesday, and she'll be giving me the full run down. I'm in North London, though its cheaper to go as far from central London as possible when you go privet so I'll be having my surgery in Redbridge (about an hour outs). I might end up in the states to stay with family for a bit in September (im a dual national) so I'm excited that so many people are in the states ^_^
Congrats on your date!!!!!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

Anyone who started their pro op diet, what Protein Meal Replacement shakes do you like the best? What other things are you eating on the liquid diet?

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
