My preop diet allows for 1 meal a day 4oz of chicken breast, tuna or a meat a veggie. I started mine early eliminating carbs, then sugars. Hanging in there my date is 7/30. Good luck on your journey and keep in touch. I take this one day and one hour at a time.

I hope you have a quick and smooth recovery. My date is July 30. I'm on the presurgical diet now.

I found that the pre-op diet was the hardest. Mentally and physically I knew I could eat what I wanted and be fine so it really put my will-Power to the test. After procedure, not the slightest bit hungry nothing seems to bother me as much.

I had a neighborhood swim party with the ladies, took my ice tea and stayed in the pool so I wouldn't be tempted. Some days not terrible some days one hour at a time. I weigh in each morning hoping it will give me some strength. Husband is gone this week so it has been easier, next week he will be back with all the temptations. So happy to hear that after surgery things will get easier. So happy to hear the recovery is going well for you.

Had mine July 3. Just got clearance to start exercise besides walking. Just a little sore when moving in certain positions. Only real problem I had was 1st week I had a terrible headache but I adjusted. Clear liquid was fine but I can live without Jello now. Excited to start 4th week foods. Lost 19 lbs but I expect it to slow down now that I get to eat some chicken and tuna. I can’t wait to see results in 6 months.

Hi! I just had mine July 2nd and happy with the weight loss so far. I'm still not eating solid foods and I think I'm a little scared to try after trying scrambled eggs last week and they didn't stay down. Have you tried those yet? Also, when you do your chicken and tuna, will you be blending it up? I'm almost over eating Soup but again, scared to try the next foods.

      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.
