Good luck to those today. Started my preop diet yesterday and I gotta say I’m pretty happy I’m not not experiencing the inflammation from all the sugar I used to eat all the time buuuuuut found out sausages are evil like epic heartburn. Yeah not going there again. Also my program allows air fryers soooo mmmm. I’ve basically stopped using my crock pot and switched to that appliance specifically

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

I think it depends on our surgeon. My 2-week pre-op is full liquid. I drink 3 Protein Shakes and 1 clear protein daily to get 90grams of Protein

So was I! I had my 5 days post op check up yesterday. It went well, I’m able to drink a little easier now. Couldn’t keep anything down days 1,2. Drinking was painful days 3, and part of 4. Yesterday was much better. Hoping for easier days to come.
How have you been?

      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.

      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.
