Hi Ummyasmin, yup I know about the sugar content, glad I only had 2 of them in the house. I was told to have around 15g or less of sugar so was watching it and also had to dilute them with Water and Protein Powder.

I just found out that my insurance approved surgery!! I won't be able to have surgery until October because of my work schedule. Anyway, I really wasn't getting my hopes up in case insurance didn't approve it, but now it's real omg. I'm nervous and excited and would love someone to be buddies with through this. Any takers?

I'm 37. I have 4 kids (14, 11, 4 and 2) and I'm a teacher. I am starting with a BMI of 40 exactly with no comorbidities. Anyone out there with similar stats? Even different stats but you are having surgery in October? My date is 10/4.

We have similar stats (not sure about your height though.. I’m 5’6 and have an 8 yr old. I have a hiatal hernia (related to weight gain) my surgery is scheduled for the 24th though.. so you’ll be way ahead of me! :)

That’s around the corner too !! I’m excited for you

Ooh what was it like diluting them with protein powder. I'm guessing it wasn't one of the Creamy type ones?

I used GENEPRO, put a scoop of that in Water to let it disolve then add the fruit juice, was fine. Im more worried about the next 3 days on Clear Liquids, Ive never been a fan of black coffee but thats what Im going to have with a scoop of Protein powder and just hope thats ok or I might just leave the protein out as it will make the coffee cloudy...gotta think ahead lol

Lucky you still allowed to have coffee (I'm already weaning off caffeine and coffee is a no go for me in liquid phase before surgery and for at least a month after - likely because of my GERD)! Have you tried making cold brew coffee? I don't like plain black coffee, but cold brew is significantly less acidic and I really like it black. Its pretty easy to make.

Ive gone decaff and I hate cold coffee, I will just see how it goes tomorrow with black. Im a hot tea drinker too and no milk in that is going to be awful so thats gone and Im down to clear juice, diet Powerade, broth Soups and water!..I cant wait till this is over and go back to using milk.

If its just that you don't like coffee cold (vs. don't like cold brew coffee), I heat up my cold brew in the morning. Make it on the weekends and heat up a cup every morning :)

Just got off the phone with the coordinator! October 17 at 1 pm! I feel like I won the lottery, I am so excited. My pre-op nutrition visit is this coming Monday, and then my pre-op tests and pre-op visit are Tuesday. 2 week liquid diet starts Wednesday. I’m honestly more stressed about the pre-op diet than the actual surgery.

I feel the same way!! I am nervous for the liquid diet not so much the surgery..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
