My liquid diet is okay but it is hard. I can only have clear broths and Protein Shakes. I am not hungry but more week and have a constant headache if I don't cheat and have some caffeine. I know I won't be able to have diet soda after surgery but it is keeping me headache free for now.

7 More days, ladies. I went to a support group meeting tonight and it helped ease my nerves a little. Then I work Tue, Wed, and Thurs and my pre op on Friday. Hopefully it will go by quickly!

I'm the 30th in Lake Worth, FL. Dr. Larson. Staff and Doctor are very, very good. I wanted to do this quickly and they have really helped. I had my first appointment on Sept. 17th and we have moved rapidly. I see the nutritionist and hospital pre-op on Thursday and that's it. But I am not on a liquid diet. What is it? I have been eating everything and I need to get on a plan to get ready. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

:wub: :confused:

      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.
