I am having my surgery in May17th! I am super exited. I started my preop diet today with slim fast. I decided to start early because I realized I started eating everything I enjoy thinking I could never eat again that way.

I'm scheduled for my VSG on May 16th. I start my 2wk pre-op on May 2nd. I know it's my nerves, but I'm so scared that the pre-op diet isn't going to work and my surgery is going to be cancelled 😞

What are some pre-op tips you guys have been following? I know I have to stay at 800cals a day with two Protein Shakes and a "normal" meal. I bought some Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisines to get me through. Hopefully these will be okay ✌️

A little bit nervous, but, much more on the side of being so thankful that this is actually going to happen! I put it off for a couple of years, due to my work being overwhelmed during the pandemic. We are so lucky to live in this age of miracles and wonders! Keep me posted, and best of luck! Its going to be awesome!

You do the same!!! You should update your info (your profile info) so we can see more about you. What insurance do you have, how long did approval take, what surgery are you having, what is your starting and goal weights?

      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.
