Been home for about 3 hours and pretty sore

I found out I had 2 hernias one around my diaphragm and one umbilical.

awesome spirits and happy to have it done and over.

I don't think I could have done this without my awesome wife's support.

thats a lot of repair. . was the procedure still done with a scope?? or a bigger incision?? i hope you are feeling on top of the world real soon.

Today I started my pre-op liver shrinking diet. The next 14 days should be a piece of cake. I've actually been practicing the diet for about a week now and have lost weight already. Surgery is on March 15th. I met with my NP and made my payments for the surgery and I'm all set now. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. No more poor eating habits. Portion Control, exercise and lots and lots of prayer for will power and strength!

I am on a low-fat diet and have found I am loving chicken salad. I bought a rotisserie chicken and removed the skin, then use 3-4oz per salad. Fred Meyer/Kroger sell a butter lettuce/lolla rosa mix which I mix with lite Kraft ranch, chicken, and a small amount of zesty croutons. It is a really delicious meal and only around 300 calories! Yum :)

      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.
