Recommended Posts

Ok...so I'm 6days into my liquid diet! It's getting easier, but I still have those moments were I crave food. My doctor has put me on a chicken broth, popsicles, and slim-fast diet.:thumbdown:lol.. I'm getting close to my surgery date which is Aug 14th:thumbup:. Any advice on what to expect next? Is there any one from Chicago that's getting banded by Dr. Rossett?:tongue2:

Hi Crystal - I'm on day 16 of my pre-op diet. Was only supposed to be 2 weeks, but I ended up getting really sick (bronchitis, double ear infection). Not sure if it had anything to do with the diet, but I've got to think that my immunity system was weakened by the lack of real food. Your diet sounds similar to mine. No popsicles for me, but I was allowed 2 cups of veggies and unlimited sugar free Jello. All I can say is that drinking Water has helped me. I drink enormous amounts of it when I'm hungry and chew sugarless gum! I'm on liquids for another 10 days after surgery, but get to have Tomato Soup and I'm really excited about that!

Good luck!!

Jen

Hey Crystal, I don't have the same doctor as you, but I'm about an hour and a half north of Chicago. I'm on day three of my pre-op diet, and so far so good. I have had cravings for food, but so far sugar-free gum, sugar-free popsicles and Jello have saved the day. My diet is similar to yours (atkins shake Breakfast and lunch dinner lean Protein and veggies). Congrats on the loss of 16 lbs! I'm getting banded two days before you.

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

      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
