How about the weekend before our surgery we post a front, back and side view picture of our selves? :o

I think this is a great idea. I've havent taken a full body shot in so long I cant even remember the last time. I hate seeing myself in pictures all large and in charge. LOL. I will try and get mine done and up here this week. I will probably cry a little bit but i'll get it done.

I posted my pictures last night. I did a side, front and back version. I also took measurements that I don't plan on sharing! sorry! I plan on trying to take picture at the same time every month.

It's crazy because I know I'm a large woman but I'm scared. I'm scared for everyone to see me., like they can't already tell I'm large. So silly!

I ordered Unjury also - the unflavored one! I really like Premier Protein taste really good and it has 30g of Protein and low in sugar too. You can get them from costco or sams club

Hi all....this is my first time posting. I got my surgery date on Friday (it is May 14) and I have been excited and scared all weekend. I did not have to diet prior so now it is hitting me in the face......wow, this is real! I have bought all the items needed for my 2 week liquids. I think it is just a mental game for me to get into the groove, but it will definitely be hard!

Well welcome, there are a few of us all on the 14th of May...two weeks to go. i don't have to do a liquid diet, but most other people do, so good luck!

I asked my doctor about it. They will wrap pad you up in the er and then once you wake up you can manage it. But I know I was praying mine came early. They say it happens all the time.

      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.
