I am almost there surgery date is 10/17/13. This really went fast for me. I am waiting for a glitch but none so far.

I am debating whether or not to start my pre op diet early. I don't have to start until 10/3/13 however; I might start this Thursday instead. I only am required to lose 5 lbs before surgery but I want to start early to make sure that I stay on track.

Pre op diet started yesterday one day earlier (I previously calculated my start date incorrectly). Yesterday was rough with a headache by the end of my 12 hour shift and a massive mood swing with uncalled for over reaction to an action of my spouse did that caused me to yell in front of our children about things they don't need to know about. Followed by him calling me out in it later and calling me a name. Today was a much better day no emotional outbursts and no headache.

A 12-hour shift on first day of a pre-op diet sounds rough -- then going home to spouse and kids. Geez! Glad you had a better day today with no headache. Take it easy -- I can tell you have a good sense if humor, which definitely comes in handy at times like these. Dr. Ache? That's a good one! She sounds pretty great (read your profile).

I was a raving lunatic for the for few days and I understand working 12 hour shifts since I work on an Ambulance & in a busy ER. Worst part was watching & smelling my partners eat yummy food. I promise it will get easier, the headaches decrease & you get into a groove with the shakes. I'm saying you will like it, but it's get more doable. I did announce daily that I desired a taco ... But didn't give into the craving. I'm now 1 week post-op, it will fly by faster than you know it

Congrats on starting your journey. I start my pre op diet on Oct 8th. Where did you buy your Protein Shakes? I've heard of the Unjury shakes and Soup, but don't know where to find them.

I am a day behind you. My surgery is Oct 18. I am on day 7 of pre-op diet, and it is getting a bit easier each day. I hope you can get a chance to rest some. I have noticed my energy runs out a lot quicker than usual. Hang in there - we will make it!

        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
