Hello all - I started Clear Liquids yesterday in preparation for the day before prep (and we all know what that is!!) I didn't sleep very well at all last night. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon and then watched a movie until 1:45 am. I tossed and turned when I layed down and flip flopped all night. I think I'll take some Tylenol PM tonight to make me sleep better. I can't believe I only have two more days. My drive to the hospital will only take 10-15 minutes, tops, so that will be good. Good luck to those being banded today :D

Good luck ericsmom! My drive to the hospital is only 10-15 min as well! Aren't we lucky?

I feel your pain about not being able to sleep! I'm so stressed out about the surgery because its my first surgery, that sleep is a precious comodity. Tylenol PM would be great right about now.. I think I will take it if I ever have time to sleep!

I'm really excited about the surgery but in shock that its only 2 days away, and so I'm kind of numb about it. I've been showing my stress in odd ways like overeating when I KNOW I'm full. And I'm not eating bad foods right now- mostly soft foods like seafood, but I'm eating alot of it when I eat. I'm going to go on liquids for most of tomorrow, and then POW- I'll be at the hospital! Tomorrow is the first day I can sleep without an alarm clock in a month, so I'm going to sleep as long as possible! :D

Best wishes for a quick recovery!

Loriely, I thought I was going to be the only one on July 6. It is fast approaching! I'm pretty nervous. The only surgery I have had was tonsils when I was 12. I don't even remember it.

Well Good Luck!

I can't believe it's almost time...

I'm so hungry! I was doing fine with the Protein Shakes, but now that I'm on clear liquids, I'm feeling "icky" if that makes sense. Very sluggish. Tomrrow I have to drink that Magnesium Citrate stuff - eeewww! Should be an interesting evening.

Good luck to everyone else - You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers :D

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
