I am almost 6 weeks out. Everybody is different, but I had a hard time beforehand. I will admit, I did end up cheating a few times. I will tell you this though, I am not hungry now. And I don't mind eating the exact same thing every day. I know this lack of hunger is only a limited time deal, but I really could handle this for the rest of my life.

You'll make it! Try and distract yourself, works most of the time.

Trying to stick,it out, every body nseems to feel this once over,you'll want to go it again!
People asked me if I have gotten,nauseous, not until yesterday, if I found my shake too sweet, not until yesterday, do I wish this diet was over, not until yesterday. I guess yesterday was a bummer of a day. Day 16 of this Verdompt diet torture, and really my diet isn't THAT terrible, it's just familiarity breeds contempt. I keep telling myself I'm going have such a pretty slendar liver but Matt does anybody care that much?
Nut I did volunteer for 4+ weeks, Turing out to be closer to 5., But I'm still plodding forward👣

I personally found that after 3 days, I no longer felt hungry on my pre op diet. I think sometimes just the fear of thinking you will be starving is enough to give you the jitters, but in reality, once you get into it and get a routine going, its not that bad.

Take heart, we have all been there, we all survived it and you will too!

Hey guys and gals I'm on day like 9 of my pre op diet and while mine is far more of the easy road I keep thinking about the things I can't have not alllllll the things I can I know I need to address this in therapy but my therapist is at a conference until right before my surgery and I really need her. Oh well big girl pants time. I've got 12 days until surgery which means 10 more days before I gotta switch to Clear Liquids only guys help me get thru those 48 hours lol

Wish my diet mentioned bone and other broths as being allowed, but then maybe,then I'll get sick of them in the post surgery days anyway. I think I'm rebelling against the same blandness and sweet drinks EVERY DAY! I keep quoting the same Bible,verse the,people with post-surgery gas do, " this too will pass", good to know it's not forever but the days creep along, don't they?

Consommé and bovril listed as a drinks I may have. The beef consommé is very tasty and only 17 calories, I’m a savoury tooth and understand your frustrations with sweet tastes ;)

You have given me faith and although I don’t wish for you to struggle or feel anxious it is reassuring that it’s all part of the process and I’m not alone. I’m craving chargrilled chicken!!!! We can all do this together x x

      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
