Hello,

i started my pre-op 3 week diet... I feel hungry. Any ideas?

[Kissyface104 1]

My husband and I both are having VSG on February 15th at BariatricPalMX. We started our pre-op today. Reduced calorie for a week then full liquids till surgery day.

I am just finalizing all our travel plans now and getting so freaking excited!

Less than a month to tie up loose ends, less than a month to wait for something that profoundly changes your life, you will meet this challenge and your labor will. not be in vain for you are engaged in the job of rebuilding yourself and it's a project only You can do.Go forward believing in yourself, a smile on your face and hope in your heart of hearts. And you will be blessed.

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 12th & at this very moment I am terrified, 2nd questioning my decision, talkinging myself out of it then remembering why I am doing it in the first place & talking myself back into it... right now I feel like i'm on a roller coaster ride.

You have a bad case of the whim wahs,many of us have had them. Its getting closer every day, I would bet you're 85-90% wanting to do this but there is a small little voice saying Run Baby Run, it is scary facing the unknown. You have to keep moving forward, don't let dread take you captive. The good things in life are the hard things of life, always been that way. But you are growing in strength, resolve and believing in yourself, and you will make a success of this thing. AND OH THE FINAL BENEFITS ARE TRULY WORTH ALL THIS PREPARATION. You will wake up February 12th after your surgery still you, just facets of you will have changed, but you will find your feet again and you'll make it through, we faced it ourselves and we'll be here cheering you on! So Wee here the roller takes its last bend and you're home safe and free!

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. I am Feb 18th. I haven't been notified yet what my diet pre op is. I go tomorrow for preadmission testing, I will most likely find out then.

Wow thank you for the awesome words of encouragement, I appreciate it so very much. I wasn't sure about joining this site because i'm not very tech savvy & I hate to admit it took me a few minutes to figure out how to comment back. But I am so glad I did, again thank you

Arghh! I have to take back my post. They had to reschedule my surgery until March. So bummed out. ☹️

WHL - sorry to hear that, I know it can be frustrating when you are planning on it happening and then things change. Virtual hug 🤗

On Day 11 of my liquid diet. It's been rough. I did semi cheat on day 8. . .I ate 4 bites of cottage cheese and then cried lol Feb 1st is so close. Tonight I am packing my hospital bag because my surgery is at 9:40 am on Friday. My husband bought me a shirt that says Downsizing in Progress to wear the day of surgery. lol He gets me haha I'm so anxious and excited at the same time. 8 months of hard work and 47 lbs already gone. Congratulations to all the Feb Sleevers!!!
