Had my pre op today, went pretty quick. Also was told my doc changed to have all patients to 2 weeks on liquid pre op diet...luckily i was told i don't have to do the 2 weeks as long as i stay high Protein /low carb in the first week and start replacing meals with shakes

My date is for June 20th and I'm so excited I can barely stand it! And between now and then we go on vacation so pretty much as soon as I get back I do my surgical testing and start on my 7 day liquid diet.

I'm SO EXCITED!

I’m scheduled for the 21st, also just days after a 10 day trip. I’ll have to spend half my trip on the restricted presurgery diet :( but so worth it. My surgeon actually scheduled me even though we haven’t heard from insurance yet, just because of tight timeline. We plan to move out of state 4 weeks after surgery. Everyone cross fingers for me that insurance approves it and all goes well before and after move.

Hi all! I’m scheduled for VSG on June 11th. I was originally scheduled for 5/14 but pulled a chest muscle on the 8th day of my pre-op diet and has to re=schedule. Back on schedule and the pre-op. I guess I should be good at it but I’m hungry just 2 hours after my Lean Cuisine lunch. Sad.

Hi Sleevers! I’m June 6th! Been on the preop diet for 8 days ... 4 Protein Shakes a day and all low carb veggies plus anything on clear liquid diet. I’m excited and nervous .... and EXCITED! I’m down about 8 pounds with the preop diet. I can’t wait to get the scale moving after surgery! How long is everyone taking off of work? Who have your told?

        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!

      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
