SURGERY DATEE TWINS! I have to do a three week liquid date starting in 7 days

omg mine starts in 5 days now and I'm freaking out lol. I'm walking around my house saying goodbye to my straws, coffee...anything else not liquid (lol). Luckily my diet is allowing me to have 4 meal-replacement shakes a day + a bariatric cuisine/dinner , so I hope it helps get me past the "omg I'm hungry" phase of the pre-op diet.

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the Protein and I have the options of things like protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready
Consider this your reminder!

My surgery is August 31st! So scared and hope Im choosing the right surgeon and procedure. I’m a low BMI (30) with years and years of Yo-yo dieting and pre diabetes. Ive weighed as much as 229 down to 128. Its insane! Anyone going to Dr. Ponce at INT around the end of august first of September? My pre op diet is yogurt and Water for 3 days. Does that sound normal?

      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.
