My sons karate instructor said that he went 39 days without food just drinking Water and on about day 6 he wasn't really hungry anymore...

I tried those shakes at Walmart the generic ones just to help lose some before the surgery because my surgeon said I didn't have to do a preop diet if I lost 10 pounds! But those are actually good I am not kidding... But even tho I am not hungry after drinking one I am trying to keep from thinking of real food like stuff you chew thats my problem :eek:

Brandy... that's funny... why did he only go 39-days with out eating food.. why didn't he do the full 40? He prob. started nawing at his hands...lol... :)

I am glad I am not the only one who has cheated. My surgery is tommorrow. I mostly have stuck with the sugar busters diet for the last two weeks, which is what my surgeon asks us to do, but if I were a great dieter I would not need lap-band.

I haven't started the pre-op diet yet, I have a little over a month before my surgery. I have been trying to sample different drinks to see which ones I will be able to stand when I have to live off them for a few weeks. I can't stand the Slim Fast drinks. Carnation Instant Breakfast are not much better. I tried Unjury and they are not too bad. I'll have to try the Wal-Mart brand and see how they are. I am so not looking forward to living on liquids!:)

Well it is day 4 and i am still alive on this preop diet. Trying to stick to it and not cheat. The carnation instant breakfast drinks are not that bad but I think by the end of this I am gonna hate chocolate milk. When dinner time rolls around I get so excited cuz I can eat real food. Is that sad or what. But we are doing good. Lets hope the next 10 days go better.

I know its rough... I am trying a trial run of it right now I am on day 3 of replacing 2 meals with Protein Shakes and then I eat a pretty plain chicken breast meal at the end of the night with a veggie (plain :tongue_smilie: ) I don't have to do it but I know it's not hurting me to get in the swing of things. I only have 6 days till I request for insurance to give me pre authorization so I am gearing up for it. I would love to walk into surgery with the scale already headed in the downward motion!

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

        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
