Just wanted to post some encouragement for everyone starting the preop diet. I’m on day 10 and I promise it does get better. I’m still hungry but I don’t have headaches and feel crappy. My surgery is in 5 days so that is motivation to stay strong! Good luck to everyone in surgery today!

Thanks! Today is day 1 of my liquid diet and I'm struggling!

If you weren't nervous, you wouldn't be human. I'm the Brave Little Engine,that Could and I realize,i'm setting,off into a brave new 🌍world. Can be only,be few who have studied more what will happen than I, been 3 years after all. We are going into a place where we do have a map, but what if the map isn't right? Cliffs may have fallen, New roads may have been built. And none of us knows exactly how our own bodies will react to this 🌀challenge. But we still go forward, we've come too far to turn around. And we see the stars shining ahead., don't we?😛🌞☀🌈

I am scheduled to have gastric bypass on August 27th. I will know more after I go for my presurgical appointment on Monday. I am amazed at how fast this happened after I submitted my 6th month doctor monitored diet paperwork to BCN.

My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day Clear Liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery

Started my liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I have horrible stomach cramps now! Could it be the Protein Shakes? You would think this healthy eating would cause awesome BMs but nope! Ugh 😑

Today was the first time I really understood how small my stomach was. So I made scrambled eggs. Just one egg. I ate maybe a forth of it and was full.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
