It seems this day has crept up on me. One day Im thinking, wow May 1st is a few weeks away and now here i am today thinking, Ok! tomorrow is the very beginning. Im hoping and praying that I do well on this liquid diet. Im not sure what to think at this moment. Im just trying to keep a positive mindset. I want this and I want it to be right. I dont want to fail. My biggest problem right now is finding a Protein shake that will help me feel full and that will taste great. Im headed to the store this evening to pick up my items.

Im excited and nervous at the same time. this feels weird. I havent been this emotional since I gave birth to my two children.

Keep me in prayer.And to all the May bandsters, good luck with everything. I'll be posting in my blog. The support is needed greatly. Please stop by. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Thank you all :) I was in the store and I was actually about to cry. I don't know why but I was. I'll probably be on here more than I usually do, venting and being a cry baby about so bare with my LBT family.

I just started my liquid diet today.. last week was a 800 calorie diet, I bought vanilla whey Protein from GNC, mixed it this morning with half frozen banana 4 oz skim milk and 4 oz Water and some ice and it was good!! I used the blender and it thick like a shake. Had a little broth today also...trying to watch the sodium in that its really high...tried the propel and Vitamin Water also not a big fan..tomorrow i'll try to mix it up with sugar free juice...but i've tried to google different Protein shakes and there are a lot out there just try to find what you like : )

        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
