Recommended Posts

Hi Acquilla...

I'm new too

and being banded on the 19th as well

and

started my 14 day pre-op diet yesterday too

how's it going so far?

I'm not too bad yet, but, it IS pretty GROSS

I agree Halo74, I threw away the rest of my first shake, it was so thick and I was at work...I will try tonight to make it into a shake with ice and a little skim milk to see if I can stand it.

I'm hearing people on here only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do a two week pre-op liquid diet. They want me lose 10lbs before the surgery so that liver can shrink. Do anyone else have to do the same?:thumbup:

Hey I feel for you. I know what 2 days are doing for me and can only image how it is for you. My doctor only requires 2 days but it is also on each person. I will keep you in mind prayers. :lol: How long have you been on your liquid diet? How are you doing on it? :thumbup:

Hi Peanutband,

I started my two week liquid diet yesterday and I'm doing ok so far. I wish I can do the two day liquid diet too. I'm doing the slimfast low-carb drinks and they are not that good. I'm going to try some chicken broth to switch it up. I see my Dr. tmrw, I got my clearance so I think they will be giving me a time to be at the hospital. This is a struggle for me because I cook for my family daily and the temptations are there, but I've done good not tasting the food.< /p>

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know to try the "Better Than Bouillon" for your broth, It's the best I've found so far. It's in a jar next to the bouillon cubes.

Yes, that's me. I was hoping to be getting prepared today but then I had a pipe bust and spent all day with emergency plumbers at the house.:thumbup: Despite everything I'm so excited, can't wait until tomorrow!!

      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
