Thank you for sharing. My surgery is May 14th so it's comforting to see your post especially after only a few hours. Glad you are feeling well. Keep us posted. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hang in there. Day 2 was the worse for me and I had a huge headache, was nauseous and seriously tired. Today is day 3 and I am much better. The hardest thing for me now is not reaching for comfort food. It's years of bad habits so it will take time to change. PS do not give up. You are too precious and are worth it 🤗 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Big difference. Thanks for sharing Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Keep us posted. I hope everything works out okay. I can't imagine how upset you are feeling. I know I would be. Hang in there.

So my pre-op diet is for 14 days, 1st 3 days only protein drinks and water. After the 3rd day, I can eat carrots, spinach, cucumbers, etc plus protein drinks or protein soup if needed. I assume I can also have sugar free jello although that was not in my plan. Today it's my 3rd day and I feel okay. Still trying to stay focused and stick to it because I know it will pay off. Just remember, before giving in to a craving, check in here for support. At least it has been working for me. It's tough but we are undoing years of bad habits so it is challenging but very possible. PS I had an endoscopy. I did not feel a thing. Good luck.

That is wonderful!!!! Congratulations.

I have similar experiences like you which is why I am doing this. PS I LOVE the pepperoni story!

Hi. May 14th is my surgery date. Currently on my 14 day liquid diet. :-)

Thanks for sharing your story. I know we can push through. It's so much more than the hunger. It's the bad habits and the mind as well as the hunger. Yesterday was my day 2 and I found myself looking in the fridge 3-4 times trying to give myself excuses as to why one piece of cheese or one piece of white meat wouldn't jeopardize me. Then I thought, let me jump in on this group and try to retrain my mind on how to move forward and stay positive. For me, this year was been brutal. I stopped smoking and gained 30 lbs and my joint and back pain became unbearable. I was popping aleves all day, and always out of breath. My social outings became almost obsolete and all I did was stay home after work and watch tv. That is not living authentically. For me, this is not about beauty, it's about health and wanting to be able to do the basic things that people with my weight struggle with. I never thought I would be this way but here I am. Fat, unhappy and unhealthy. Don't get me wrong. I love myself but I dont love who I allowed myself to become. Food became my friend and my comfort but it was also slowly killing me. Sorry to write such a long post but I want to make sure we keep eachother accountable and strong. This is not a fight we have to go through alone. People don't understand the struggles but we do and we have to beat this. Let's stay focused, look at the reward of doing this pre-op diet and on how wonderful we will end up feeling in the long run. I am on day 3 and feeling so much better!!! Thank goodness.

I'm May 14th. We all very close. I'm excited we can support eachother. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hang in there. I'm on day 2 and I couldn't sleep well last night and some serious headaches. I also am cranky and really tired but I heard it gets better. It's not easy but if we continue gainiby weight, we are not living life the way we should be. I'm miserable with my current weight and I think vsg will be a great tool to begin feeling better and enjoying all the great things in life. Don't doubt yourself and if you need support, continue to reach out here. This really helps. We all got this 🤗 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am so glad you posted this and I get to also see people's responses. I am on day 2 and was tempted to pick on some thing but I won't. We need to push thru this. 🤗 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have 1 more month to finish my insurance requirements and I have heard some people don't get approved. I've seen the nutritionist, got a psych letter, doing an endoscopy tomorrow, did all the bloodwork and abdominal ultrasound and need 1 more PCP visit. My BMI is over 40. Any pointers or input regarding this insurance? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
