SURGERY TOMORROW !!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Can't believe tomorrow is the big day...I'm feeling so many emotions right now....my life will have a new start tomorrow...I'm ready for my body to match my brain....it's funny because I've never felt the way I look...I've always felt sexy and beautiful and then I look at my body and it doesn't match...which I've always been told I was curvy and I have a pretty face...but I want to take back control of my body....I'm to young to waste any more years being unhappy...I want to eat healthy and only to fuel my body...not to eat to Celebrate or because I'm sad or happy or as a part of fellowship....if you think about it we use food for everything....having a baby ? Let's eat..getting married ? Let's eat...got a promotion ? Let's eat...bored ? Let's eat !! I am choosing to be the best me that I can be !!! Saying many prayers for myself and all you guys...my anxiety is thru the roof but that's just me :-) so here's to having nothing to eat or drink after midnight....ahh surgery eve !!!!!!!!

I feel the same way. I always tell people I have the opposite of anorexia and think I'm smaller than I am. Lol for example at 235lbs I did a cartwheel the other day and couldn't figure out why I couldn't lift my arm an hour later until I really thought about it. All that weight on one arm is no bueno. I can't wait to do cartwheels without hurting myself. Lol anyway I'm very excited for you. Let us know how you do!

Good luck on your new YOU. It has been great for me. I lost 24 so far and am doing very good on food choices. Just make sure you get enough Protein. That is very helpful when you don't want to feel hungry. I have 3 Protein Drinks a day between meals. It really does work.

Good luck. You will be great. When I am not eating around other people I tell them. " I already ate". They think I ment an hour ago. I know I ate in the 70's, 80's,90's and most of this century.

YOu deserve to be happy. Go for 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.

        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
