I'll keep this short because I am having a hard time keeping an internet connecetion. All went well with the surgery...today has been my best day so far. All of the tests looked great, so I'm just waiting for the drain to come out now.

I'll update you again later.

You must have been hiding in your room today when I was there -- I will look for you tomorrow when we get to the hospital for DF surgery -- what room were you in? 26? maybe that's why we're going to get that room ... I will try to find you tomorrow morning if you aren't already gone by the time we get there at 7 am.

I think I missed Want2BMeAgain ... I've asked on the floor but no one seems to know who I am talking about so perhaps I missed her? There are 2 other women here today - one for a sleeve from Alaska and one for a revision -- they had not heard about VST ... they have now!

Have also met Soon2BSkinny - she was up walking around this morning when we got here. She seems to be doing well.

I think it's great to get to know people from here!

Missed Wanna2BMe ... she left yesterday - DARN!

Bob's last meal was not what he wanted -- we ate around 2:30 and he wasn't hungry at all after that, so he didn't get his steak like he wanted -- instead he got some gaucomole, chips, bread and 3/4 of the quesadilla I ordered (which was very tiny actually) - plenty for me, and I suppose with the other things he ate, plenty for him -- he was still 'stuffed' this morning. Guess he'll have to wait a while on that steak!

Met Soon2BSkinny this morning -- we're all gonna party! LOL :biggrin0:

        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
