Starting To Get A Bit Nervous. Surgery On Tuesday



Recommended Posts

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. but hearing people say they haven't lost much weight or there hungry all the time makes me nervous. I am hoping this works, I have been working so hard. but the hunger is what scares me.

Just make sure to get enough Protein and drink/eat before you get crazy hungry. I find if I let myself get too hungry, all sanity is out the window.

Yeah I do really well. I get the munchies at night but it is head hunger not real hunger. I drink Water to curb it or a diet soda cause it kinda bloats me a bit which makes me not want to eat. I have lost 40 lbs. I was banded 3-1-12. If I can do it anyone can!

Some drs are ok with diet soda, some are not. I have one once in awhile. I just dip slowly and enjoy it. As long as it doesn't keep me from drinking enough Water I have no guilt

I was nervous about the same issues...but I am now 5wks out and doing great..On any regular diet you can feel like you are starving, but then on a regular diet, you can end up binging, and then starting back at square one..This way, you get your fills, and keep going..Life is still going to happen, so it will not be like you will never eat certain foods again if this is your choice, but it will get easier to let it go...You can do it!!!!!! :D

        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
