I have mine done on Saturday (29th) I am really nervous :smile2: now its getting closer!

Anyone else following the milk diet?

I am using 3 slim fast shakes a day and drinking OXO.

I am starving LOL

The only problem I think that will occur is that I am sure i am getting a cold!!!!

I just hope it doesnt stop my op :laugh:

I had my band done the day before yesterday and I am home feeling good. Little sore and the gas pains are kind of icky but other than that feel like a million bucks. I did the liver reduction diet or the milk diet as someone else called it too but the night before my surgery I did have on last bad for me meal just as a send off. I havent felt much hunger since getting home but am supposed to eat Jello and yogurt and that stuff every two hours so Ive been doing that along with alot of fluids as they say to do. Its really not bad and I know it will all be worth it the first time I can walk into an ambercrombie ot hilfiger or some store like that and not have the little twig sales person look at me like Im lost! the best advice I can give you is use your pain meds in the hospital take the time to relax and when you get home just go easy and at your own pace

Good luck to everyone :smile2:

      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
