Thank you that's very helpful advice. Is it ok to have an extra shake or bar if I'm struggling? I wasn't sure if that was just as bad.

It really is important for you to stick to the preop diet plan. Try cutting your shakes with Water so they go further and fill you up more. Drink more broth. When you have the Vegemite craving, tell yourself, "I can't have that now, but I will have it later." And you will - once you get to that stage post op. Pre-op can be hard, but this time truly will pass. You just have to hang in there. Get rid of anything in the house that is going to tempt you - like the Vegemite.

I hear alot about broth. I haven't been told by my surgeon anything about broth. Is broth like chicken stock? Like the Fluid part of Soup?

You could always put a teaspoon of vegemite (or marmite) in some hot Water and make your own broth to get that flavour.

Yes.... i lived on wonton Soup (with out the wontons)... just drank the broth. Some dr. allow egg drop soup. I also did other Soups and just strained out the big chunks so all i was left with was the broth (fluid).

Cheating is bad, but quitting all together is worse. Acknowledge your mistake and move on. Don't let a cheat meal be a cheat day. You already know where that is going to lead you. Dust yourself off and get back on track! You got this!!

I feel hungry all the time. Is it hunger or is it years of mental abuse on myself and I'm confusing the 2. I just keep trying to push through it looking towards the next meal break.

Drink lots of Water. Your body AND mind are still getting used to your new way of eating. No one said it would be easy, but hang in there!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
