I'm being banded about June 16th. I should know the date for sure by the end of this week. I'm so excited but also very scared. I'm afraid I will be the a freak anomoly that will actually gain weight. I don't really think it has totally set in that it is actually gonna happen after all this time. I haven't really told anyone about it just in case. I'm so obsessed with this site right now. I spend hours on it every day. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Well, I wish everyone lots of luck and looking forward to making this journey with the June banders. :thumbup:

June 9th here. My 29th Birthday! I'm getting really anxious. Not nervous, but anxious and just ready for it to be here already! I've been waiting months now because I set my date for summer break (I work at an elementary school) so its been a long wait for me.

I have a 4 week diet of liquid Protein Breakfast and lunch, with 4 oz lean Protein for dinner, so my diet might be different than yours, but one thing i've found to kind of take the edge off the hunger is to boil 1 cup of chicken broth, once boiling drop in 1 egg white, to make a kind of generic egg drop soup. It's under 50 calories, less than 1 gram of fat, less than 1 gram of carbohydrates, but lots of protein, and fills me up for the night

You will do great. The first two days are very hard... but stick through it. The 3-4 day will be easier and by then youre almost there. I am on a 2 week liquid diet. Today is day 6 for me. I am super excited to know that I am halfway through. Keep a positive mind. :biggrin:

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
