I've been busy obsessing about upcoming surgery, prop diet, work, recovery, etc. Basically I'm a mess. I'm sure after Monday I'll start to obsess about post op diet, port pain, slips, hydration, etc.

i was going to be off work untill my surgery wenesday but I am going in to work for a friend today who needed off for a family emergancy.I have had alot of time on my hands but i am now wondering how i will do at work on this preop diet. I have been doing great at home, even if i have only lost 2 lbs in the 2 days. I have not had the desire to cheat on it at all.

Working is a good thing, once your physically ready for it. Gets your mind off your worries and back into dealing with day to day reality. I was the same way but it was good for me to not be focused on my band or food. One thing I am noticing is I'm not as concerned about food now as much as I was before I decided to get banded. Like I planned my day around when I was going to eat and what I was going to have. That's probably a good thing, right?

Enjoy your day Deb. Nice of you to take someone's shift on your week off. Hope your also taking some time AFTER your surgery.

That's good. I enjoyed being able to just lay around the week after surgery. Think it helped me heal quicker.

Well, I had a long 2 hour pre-op appt. my surgery is 3 weeks from Monday. I'm nervous about all the rules. This many grams of this and that and portion sizes. I'm sure it's going to become second hat once it gets going just overwhelming.

 

I have lost 15 lbs in about 5 weeks so I'm excited by that!

 

I also went and picked up my post surgery Vitamins. Anyone else get there's?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
