First thing would be to call your surgeon and let them know what is going on. Yes the 2 week liquid diet really sucks, but it is needed to safely perform the surgery. People have been turned away on the day of surgery because they didn't follow the pre-op diet.

Now is the time that you need to sit down and think about how much you want to be healthy. Not just thin, but healthy. Fast food isn't good for overweight people and it isn't good for fit people. It is full of junk that is just killing us all faster.

Maybe you're not ready yet or maybe you just need to talk to someone about how your feeling and have a really good post surgery plan.

So I'm supposed to be doing a 2 week liquid diet. I started my diet on November 29th and so far I've had fast food 3 times and can't stop snacking here and there. I'm really trying to stay focused on the diet but my head feels dizzy and It feels like I have the flu. It's bad enough that I have a food addiction but to add on the terrible symptoms of not eating seems to always make me fall off. In the bariatric groups I'm in a lot of people seem to have the same problem and others tell them they are not ready. I thought bariatric surgery was for people like me who struggle with food addiction and losing weight? I honestly don't know what to do and feel like I don't have the strength to continue the diet.

Welcome back! I don't have an answer for your question but want to wish you luck on your journey. Regain is a big challenge and while I'm still in the honeymoon phase after surgery, I've lost and regained more pounds than I'd like to admit and understand the feeling when it happens. I hope you get what you need!

Hi there.

I have a VSG in 2012 and did quiet well until 2018 (gained 15-20lbs) by the end of this period. Then 2020, Covid, working from home and multiple family deaths. The has seen another 40lbs gained. The self loathing has taken hold and I need to do something now.

I have been off of the forum for some time. Seems the website is much quieter than it was ten years ago.

I had my VSG surgery done by Dr. Alberto Aceves but he has since passed away. Who is the leading revision surgeon in Mexico these days? Thank you

Looked up fibrin obstruction. Didn't know it could happen.
