Congrats mcday! My surgery got bumped from 11am to 1pm. Not sure if its because of the weather or if another emergency surgery bumped me off. So I don't need to be at there until 11am.

Thank you Banjo257! How was your diet after? I know everyone is different.

Current pre-op wt 344

Approx 400 to 500 cals for two weeks.

Protein Shake, greek yogurt, eggbeater scrambled, sf popsicle, sf Jello pudding, and sip crystsl light all day long!

But several are surprised I can have anything but liquids. Guess my doc is a rebel!

It is so nice to go to LBT and hear so much happiness.

TV news is so sad, but here there is hope and new beginnings.

Do your best, even on the hard days. Dedicate your efforts to the brave women who lost their lives to help the children.

Day 2 post-op … found the guts to take pics of my 'wounds' and posted them. I think they look pretty good! No swelling or redness. Gas pain in shoulder is still there, but overall it has been a great day. Hubby helped me into the shower and then I was able to remove the dressings. I'm guess the bigger puncture/cut is where my port is located.

How is everyone else doing?? :D

Sorry...preop diet day one.

Don't beat yourself up too much … tomorrow is a new day … BUT … stick w/ the program. This journey does not begin w/ the day of surgery … it begins now. I mapped out my foods as per all the info my doc and nutritionalist gave me on my blog.

This is a wonderful time of year for Soups … use them to add flavor and maintain your 'liquid' diet. Everyone is different; however, I lost 20 pounds on the pre-op diet … it's a rough road, but worth the travel! You can do this!!! :D

Tomorrow is a new day pumpkin. I have faith in you.

I can't believe this but I'm starting to get sick. Sore throat and all the other goodies that come with a cold.

I'm so doomed.

        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
