My doctor is sick and cancelled all of his surgeries today. SO frustrated, but it just must not be meant to be for me to have it. Oh well! Life goes on and I will try to do MFP again. Good luck everyone!

Im on day 3 of preop diet and I havent ate my arm, the dog, or my youngest child. Don't get nervous or doubt your self. You never know your strength until your tested. Mind over matter. you can do this. Attitude is everything. :)

I was nervous about the pre-op, too ... I actually pushed myself and started it earlier then when my doc wanted me to because I was afraid of messing up! I used the first week of pre-op to test out diff. shakes and routines.

If I learned anything, it is that I can do this ... that my focus is tight and that I have to trust my body is 'full' of nutrition, even when I wish it was 'full' of my favorite foods. Here I am now, 1 day left before surgery and I'm down 20 pounds! I don't know how typical that is or not, but pre-op went from being a fear and hesitation, to an accomplishment and motivation. :D

Does this mean you are not getting the surgery at all ?

I'm sure they're going to reschedule you .... I can't imagine how frustrating and nerve-racking this must be ... hang in there! B)

LOL!!! Ok' date=' that kinda grossed me out and made me laugh all at the same time! Thanks for the giggle, Mike![/quote']

My nutritionist was dead serious when she told me about that. I do believe, however, in the interests of medical advancement, that there should be clinical trials concerning this. I would be willing to take one for the team. LOL

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
