Today was all about getting ready for surgery tomorrow and making sure I have all my meds and stuff I will need. I went grocery shopping and stocked up on Jello, sugar free Popsicles, broth, and Water. I was going to get my Protein Shake mix, but GNC was closed, oh well I still have some and I will have hubby pic up more. I was still at the same weight today, but my clothes feel loose. I had a really bad asthma attack today which is unusual for me. I also think I have a bladder infection which I don't know how, because I drink so much freakin water. I'm going to have to tell the nurse tomorrow and hopefully they don't cancel my surgery over a bladder infection. I'm excited and ready to get this over with and start my next chapter in my life. I'm off to bed now I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Surprising I'm calm and they haven't gave me any meds to calm me down yet. I think taking my Xanax at 11:59 pm helped. I thought I was going to get meds as soon as I got here. Looks like my going home the same day turned into overnight since I'm having a hernia repair :(

I had my surgery..YAY!!! I don't remember being in the recovery room or even being taken up to my room. I remember waking up in my room still kind of out of it. I was in surgery for 3 hours. When I did come to I had a lot of pressure and pain in my chest from the hernia repair. My stomach area is real sore, but tolerable with the meds. The worst part is getting up or breathing in deep. I think I have 5 incisions, 1 is more bigger than I thought it would be. The incisions were stitched on the inside and glued on top. I have been feeling real nauseous and can't really drink anything so I have been sucking on ice chips. I have been sleeping a lot. The surgery center I'm at is awesome, they have been making me feel as comfortable as possible. I have this heating pad with hot Water in it on my abdomen right now. My husband also gets to stay the night with me which is so wonderful, he is such a big help and I don't feel alone. I'm going to get some more rest now. If anyone had any questions feel free to ask.

        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.

      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
