You all, I made it!!! I had my sleeve gastrectomy on August 1st and I'm feeling great!!! Spent the 1st, 2nd, and part of 3rd recovering in the hospital and am now at home. Using timers and measuring cups/scales to get all my Protein, Water, and walking in. I am so happy I am finally on this side of surgery! I blogged about my experience at www.nourishingheather.com if you want more info.

@ ZeroCool how is the liquid diet going for you? I’m 9 days in with 5 days to go. Feeling pretty good. I think my body forgot about the hunger if that’s possible.

@ZeroCool I think I know how you feel. I get to eat green veggies though. I was told as many as I want but they send me to the bathroom😆. You can do it though. We will get there soon.

I’ve noticed people doing. liquid pre op diet. I’m able to eat some solids. I started my pre op diet today and it wasn’t to bad. Have a headache now but I’m sure that will go away with time.

My surgery date is 8/13 and this preop diet is brutal! I am allowed to eat 4 oz Protein with green veggies once a day so I shouldn’t be complaining. Can anyone share helpful tips for walking through the kitchen or cooking food for my family knowing I cat eat it!? [emoji23]
My surgery is the 13th as well!! I can't give any tips, I think my mind has settled on not eating what I want anymore...lol. what time do you go in on Monday? We gonna keep in touch!!!

      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.
