January 24th Sleevers? Let’s prep together!



Recommended Posts

I’ll be sleeving in Chicagoland on 1/24 and starting my 2 week liquid pre-op diet tomorrow.

I had farewell tacos and wine tonight and am prepping for work with broth and PP shakes for the rest of the week.

Does anyone want to tag along on this post? We could share ideas, commiserate and hold each other accountable!

I’m really ready. I have a close friend who is a year post op and seeing her go through the experience really inspired me. You can totally do the pre-op diet!

I’m in Washington my surgery is on the 24th as well. My pre op as been going well. Protein Shakes and one meal a day. Have Protein and veggies with legumes. I prepare my meals for the week on Sunday mostly fish because I don’t eat meat. How’s yours going?

Good luck to my fellow Jan 24 sleevers

I start the liquid diet now. I am only allowed one cup of broth a day whichn perplexes me. I think I will be eating vats of sugar free jello!

Linda, if you can get it, “bone broth” has a lot more Protein than regular broth - and it tastes really good!

I only have a couple of cups of broth on mine by choice - the shakes and tea really fill me up and the Jello is great when you want to chew something!

      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.
