Last day of pre-op for me ... nothing but Clear Liquids. I had Water water water, 2 - 8 oz. glasses of crystal light, and a cup of sugar free Jello. Surgery tomorrow- can’t sleep sinus congestion 😟.

Day 10 and I am at the point where I am not thinking about eating. I am also not caring for the shakes anymore. I am keeping my Water intake up and drinking my broth. But I havent had SF Jello since Monday.

Cannot wait until Monday,

Congratulations on starting your pre op ! My surgery is scheduled for 11 December and I’m on pre op as well. Just wondering if your allowed any vegetables with your diet? Normally your allowed this with Optifast . I’m really curious because I’m allowed fruit and cracker biscuits with my shakes

. Why do the diets differ so much ?

Isn’t it amazing how the preop diet works? I was pumped seeing the scale change for the better every day! It kept me motivated. Congratulations on your successful weigh in! You’re doing awesome and you will continue to do so in the next steps ahead. My post op appt was yesterday and I had lost 14lbs on preop diet, and another 8lbs since surgery. Emily the NP said that’s more than average and that I’m doing great! Hugs to you! Enjoy your weekend!

      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
