Hi there tbarnes18...I actually had my surgery a mile across the border from Eagle Pass with Dr. Alvarez..him and his staff were great and keep me well medicated too...which was great. Glad to hear that you are on the losers bench now, how are you feeling? Are you still having head hunger? I was really bad the first couple of days and now it has tapered off...i do think that my tiny stomach "growled" this morning...I wonder is that normal if you are only on liquids? ?? Anyway, hope all is well...take it easy, gets easier every day!!!

June 30th Oklahoma City with Dr. Broussard. Nervous.

Today is my last day of being pre-op. Woke up and started to immediately feel nervous, excited, anxious (and hungry, of course!)

My surgeon only requires me to do a pre-op diet today, which means I get to have some eggs for Breakfast and then nothing but clears until midnight -- after that, nothing to eat or drink until they start giving me ice chips at the hospital Monday evening. Makes me feel sooo thirsty just thinking about it -- good thing I'm going to be doing nothing but hydrating today, I guess! :scared0:

My surgery also got bumped from 7:30 to 10:30 for some reason. Only 25 hours away!

At least I have plenty to keep me busy. I'm still battling that rash that showed up out of nowhere. I also need to go ahead and pack my hospital bag. I might do some last-minute chores around the house so I can come home to a tidy house. Busy busy busy!!! :-o

I hope all the post-op June people are doing well, I'll be joining you soon! Keep up the good work and positive attitudes June pre-op folks, we're almost there!

Hi

I had mine on the 8th of june! How are you? I am doing okay this week. I am such a baby at surgery. Whinned and drove my sister nuts the first 3 days after. I have sorness at the large incision site and still cannot play and hug my kids like I used to. I am down 20lbs. I started at 198. I am really hungry though. Can't wait for next week. I hurts in my chest when I swallow to big. I had my doctor's appt. he said all is well and allowed me the drink the Protein Shakes now but still hungry! Everyone says that they are not hungry. Are you? Well hope you are doing well.

I spent all of yesterday very hungry. No matter what I ate or drank, it was not enough. Today it is much better. I remember reading someone who posted saying that it took several weeks for the remaining ghrelin to leave our systems and the hungry feeling to go away.

        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
