Hi March Buddies! Just got a call from the hospital and my surgery is scheduled for 4:30 PM!?!? Hopefully as it gets closer, they move it up. Getting ready to start the Protein Shakes on Friday. Hope everyone is doing well 😊


Every surgery I’ve had the surgical department called the day before with the arrival time and additional details. If surgery is on a Monday, they call on Friday. They might change it, seems like really late in the day. Good luck!

I just received the date of my sleeve to RNY revision. I will go in on Monday 3/11 and am very excited and hopeful for this surgery. Anyone else get a March date?

Claricey, I'm also on 3/11! Excited!

Starting my liquid diet today! 5 optiplex premade shakes, 160 cal each. Water, crystal light and sugar free Jello. That’s all I’m allowed. Surgery March 5!

I'm one day ahead of you--surgery on March 4 and started liquid diet on Monday. It is going surprisingly well so far. I haven't really felt hungry and I'm not having caffeine or sugar withdrawal headaches. There was an unpleasant moment yesterday when our offie had a pizza party--and it looked SO good!

We have almost identical stats!! We definitely need to stick together on this journey! Are you on a 2 week pre-op diet as well?? I'm buying all my Protein this week and making sure I purchase the correct Vitamins. Getting SO excited!

Recidivist, my headache started last night at the end of
Day one and has continued this morning. Yesterday I didn’t get too hungry but today at work is hard. I was dreaming of broccoli last night lol.

I'll start pre-op diet on Sunday, but I'm pretty close to that already. My doc has 2 Protein Shakes and 1 lean Protein meal for the 1st week and just shakes for the second week. I have protein shakes ready to go, I'm on specific pre-op Vitamins now and will get my list of post-op vitamins on Tuesday. I had a meeting with the program coordinator this morning and I've lost 15 lbs in the last month so things are looking good!

I'm pretty sure I gained weight in the last few weeks before the liquid diet with all the farewells to my favorite foods. (Haven't checked my weight in weeks.) If I'm lucky I'll be down a few pounds by surgery day.

I figure the longer I am without my trigger foods the easier it will be to avoid them. I hope I'm right!

Beach, I think you are absolutely right, and I wouldn't recommend anyone follow my example. I do intend to be super-compliant after surgery, however.

Recidivist, you’re not alone...I’ve had a few goodbye parties but I’m ready to be done and start shakes on Friday.

      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. 🤞

      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.
