My hubby is going with me to the spa today! I am so excited we are just about to leave. I am super nervous about my surgery on Tuesday, 3 days and counting! So Gareth has offered to buy me a spa package and one for himself as well! haha! perks of having a metrosexual husband i guess! anyway I am off for some relaxation.

Have a great time!! I talked my dh into a pedicure one day. We were out of town so he felt safe he wouldn't know anyone. Of course, I took a photo and shared it with the world!!

We have done the spas on cruise ships before and he enjoys the massages, relaxation rooms, etc.

I go to a Korean spa nearby but it is women only. They have awesome facilities; part is used wearing a medical type gown, the rest is birthday suit. I have convinced many friends to join me there. I just tell them that there will always be someone bigger than you and someone smaller than you. Just relax and enjoy! They always love it : ) I am planning to go again in the next week or two. Warned my husband to set some money aside a few days ago!

You deserve to do something nice for yourself! Very cool that your hubby went along with you!

Good luck with your surgery. You'll be waking up in recovery before you know it. How smart of you to plan a spa day to help you relax. I had to remove all nail polish pre-op and couldn't wait to get back for a pedicure and manicure! I'm thinking it's about time for a good massage.

What a wonderful idea! Just make sure to have them only buff your nails so you don't have to sacrifice any lovely nail polish! LOL

It was a great day! We both had a massage, facial, and mani/pedi's. I did clear polish since I figured they would take it off in the hospital. I am very relaxed and can't wait until Tuesday. It is amazing how excited I am getting. I wish I had scheduled for Monday because I am so ready for it to be done and start my journey to a new skinny life. I am hardly even nervous anymore just very ready. I might get more nervous again when Tuesday rolls around. We will see. However, tomorrow may not be as fun as we are going to Easter dinner at my parents house and I can't actually eat anything. haha

        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
