I have the same date!! Ya us!!! I am doing two shakes and a healthy no carb dinner... I'm super excited an counting down the days... but have a tiny bit of nerves - which I know is normal. I started my journey last March so I totally understand about the patience you had to have over the last year.

I have my sleeve surgery booked for the 15th Feb 2018. Have not started my liver shrinking diet yet so interested to know how you get on. I have tried to do Meal Replacement diets in the past and they were not much fun!! [emoji30]
Keep us posted and good luck xx

Congrats on your date! Today is my first day on the liquid diet and it’s not so bad I drink the Premier Protein drinks and they don’t have any bad after taste and are pretty good tasting. The only thing I’m struggling with is coffee I should’ve warned myself from it but all in all so far so good
Good luck to you too !

My pre-surgery diet is full liquid for 2 weeks. My food options are: Protein shakes, skim milk, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Tomato or cream Soups, applesauce, sugar-free pudding, sugar-free Jello, and broth. And lots and lots of Water or zero-calorie/no-sugar beverages. No caffeine. Very low sugar. I need to do at least 60g of protein and 1000 calories or less.

Last night I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries for dinner. I felt like a prisoner enjoying their last meal! Haha!!

Hi Ladies, I am scheduled for Feb 2nd! Today is day 5 of the pre-op diet. I am allowed to have 2 shakes, 1 meal of 4oz of lean Protein, 1/2 cup of unrefined carbs, and unlimited vegetables throughout the day. It's hard, especially without my tea, but I am taking it one day at a time. Good luck everyone!

I am terrified that I’ll go through all of this and not be successful! Its a terrible feeling. I’m only on day 3 of the pre-op diet and haven’t stepped on a scale, but I feel less “puffy”, if that makes any sense? I won’t let myself step on a scale again until the day of surgery though. This diet is hard enough without adding on the stress I’d feel if the number didn’t go down on the scale immediately.

A co-worker of mine got the sleeve last March. She only lost 3 pounds during her 2-week pre-op diet, but then lost over 100 in the first 7 months post-op.

      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.
