I have’t posted here in 7 years, lost my lapband in Dec 2022. I have a gastric sleeve surgery scheduled for may 12th. Lol, not liking this 14 days liquid diet. Only made it through day two so far.

Welcome aboard Lisa! And yes, the pre-op diet isn't fun. You got it though! Mind over matter. I'm on day 19 of 28.

Hello! Newbie here. Currently sitting in the mayo Clinic waiting on Pre/op labs. It’s also the first day of my pre-op diet. My surgery date is 5/9.

Hey y'all! Congrats to all the new May surgeries! @ajrp001 we're surgery buddies! 😀

Haven't had much of a chance to hop on here the past few weeks. Between attending support groups, buying all the things I needed for before and after surgery, then getting things in order at home and church before my surgery took up more time than I expected.

Surgery is now only 3 days away! I can't believe it! The anxiety is starting to really go up now! I finished my 12 day pre-op high protein/low carb diet yesterday and today I start my 3 day clear liquid diet. The pre op wasn't as easy as I thought it would be because I eat mostly vegetarian/no dairy due to allergies and trying to maintain the high Protein while keeping carbs low was tougher than I thought. Now to survive 3 days of Clear Liquids only! I know it will be worth it in the end!

Hi Laryssa! Surgery buddies indeed! I have been on a liquid diet (pretty much the shakes) since Apr 13th! it has not been as hard as I thought but do crave something to chew on! good luck on Thursday and good luck to everyone else as well!

I started my pre op diet last Thursday. My schedule date is 5/11 for the sleeve. I have lost a total of 34 pounds this year. I changed some of my habits when I knew I was going to work towards this surgery. I’m 5’4. I weight 280. Now I’m 256. I must say it’s not as bad as I thought. Keep going guys. We can do 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.

      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.
