I almost backed out two days before surgery.

I think everyone has what if's and second thoughts.

Just remember why you started this journey and how good you will look one year from now.

I just considered my past failures at dieting and knew that I needed help. Before surgery, especially through the pre-op diet, I found that reading a book or listening to my iPod helped keep my mind busy and off the nervous thoughts.

If it helps at all, I was pretty on-the-fence, almost cancelled the day before, but decided to go through afterall and so far I feel like it's the best decision I ever made.

I am 11 days away and I can tell you my anxiety level is a little on the high side right now. I won't back down because I know I have to do this! I just think its normal to feel this way and I am trying to just stay focused and keep my mind busy. Doing a lot of reading, spending time with family. I went to the movies yesterday with my daughter and saw Snow White and the Huntsman. Spending time today with the hubby watching movies. We just have to stay really focused and know we are doing the right thing :)

I am also 10 days away. I just keep thinking i have three little children that i want to be around to see graduate, get married, have grandchildren, spend the next 50 years with my husband. The reasons are endless. Not to mention i am so sick of being fat. I am so ready. It does not mean i am not nervous i just focus on the reasons why and you should too. Good luck!

      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.
