Very happy to have found this forum to chat with others who are having surgery this month. Best of luck to you all!

My surgery is scheduled for July 7th. I can't I'm nervous really, just anxious to get moving.

Having been on the liquid diet for two weeks, I can't get my head around the fact that post-surgery I won't have the hunger cravings I have now. My mom had gastric about a year and a half ago and she looks amazing! She said that I won't have the cravings...she better be right :)

We have surgery on the same day :thumbup: the whole cravings thing really depends on you, gastric bypass is different than the band. be nice to keep in touch with someone going through the same thing at the same time:biggrin:

I just had gall bladder removal surgery. When I went for my ultrasound I thought , I dont have gallstones, boy was I wrong. I never had an attack. This is a good thing because they are very painfull.

EXACTLY that's why I only told a few persons, because I feel like they not in my shoes, they didn't try to get on a damn rollercoaster and couldn't because the bar wouldn't go down. That shit is embarrassing. I feel like I should do what makes me feel good about myself, the only person that have to live with me is me for the rest of my life, not theirs.

Hi HoneyBrown. I too also told only 5 people in my immediate circle of friends and family. I don't want or need to hear any of their bullsh!t comments about this is the "easy way out" to losing weight. There has not been anything easy about making a decision that will affect the rest of your life. It is the decision you have to make for yourself and forget about everyone else. I briefly mentioned it to someone and her comment was oh just eat less and exercise more. This is coming from someone who has not been able to stop smoking since she was 15. So my response to her was, its like me telling you, just don't buy any cigarettes and stop smoking. Its easier said than done. I have come to terms that I might lose some friends during this process, especially those who love to judge. But I also know that I will be healthier and happier and thats all that matters. Hang in there!

Yeah! My surgery is also the 14th, whew only one week to go. I mentioned to my surgeon about how I've been reading that I should be on a pre-op diet before I get banded and he replied that's not necessary. As long as I don't gain any more weight I only have to be on Clear liquids for 24hrs before my surgery.

Good luck and would love to hear about your progress!

My surgery is the 26th so I still have about a week of 'normal' foods and then on to the 'mostly clear and liquids' diet. Not especially looking forward to that, but I think it will drastically help me reach my goal surgery weight which is about 8 lbs less than I am now.

      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.
