I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I pray I don’t cheat. Anyone else starting tomorrow?

Oh my! I'm almost done with mine and have not cheated because I decided to take "cheat" out of my vocabulary. : It really hasn't been as bad as I anticipated. I have not been hungry at all, and except for a very slight headache the 2nd day, no adverse effects. I hope yours goes as well!

I'm doing good so far. I'm not hungry but my co-worker keeps talking about different foods. Ugh!

I started the pre-op diet Friday & surgery is on Wednesday. 2nd & 3rd days were the hardest. You can do this!

Almost done with day 1. I was fine all day. It’s just now starting to get a little challenging as I have to get my kids dinner.

You’re lucky you only have to do 6 days. I have to do 2 weeks.

I know I was very lucky! The day they got my approval they had a cancellation & I was lucky enough to get in.

Yeah when they called me with my approval they had just given a cancellation to someone else. I told her if anyone else cancels to let me know right away. Good luck!

      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. 🤞

      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.
