It's just frustrating. I've come this far with no problems had people eat my favorite food right in front of me and then boom!

During my prepp diet I cheated once and ate three cookie then I cheated again and ate a bite of my daughters KFC chicken!! Trust no one is perfect I still lost 17 pounds. Now be sure to NOT cheat getting closer to the day of because certain foods swell ur stomach and if ur doc is anything like mine he won't do the surgery if ur stomach is enlarged, and from what I've heard they CAN tell!

I will definitely keep you posted!! And I'll be praying for you as we'll. thank you!! I'm already nervous/excited too. I know it's the right choice but I always have the what ifs in my head about that small percent of people who aren't lucky :/

Don't beat yourself up, nobody is perfect. You made a mistake, its over so keep going on your pre op diet. You will be fine as long as you stick to the diet from now on. You can do this! Good luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

yep, they are gonna cancel the surgery and then kick you out of your house and then cut all your hair off.... :)

oh my heavens.......ok you ate it. most likely (pooped it out)....dont do it again

get back on course and stay on the liquid diet.....(you will come across those who have cheated and say its not a big deal, but it is...you remember why you are doing this) to make yourself well....you can do this. this is the hard part. hang in there.

(ps...did you dip it in ketchup or mustard?? i love it in mustard)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
