Well tommorrow morning I will have my surgery, I can't say, I am excited about the surgery, but knowing that I have made a big step towards accomplishing a healthier lifestyle and will be receiving the tool that will really help me, that makes me excited.

I have been on a liquid diet and for the last two days Clear liquids. I have already learned that the more Water I drink the better I feel, the better my body is functioning (no constipation) Have you heard of a fat person being dehydarated? I guess that was me. I feel that I am beginning a journey towards beating my bad food habits. I am determined to follow the doctor's. nutritionistist, and physical education instructor's instructions.

I have been taking bariatric multivitiams, Extra B vitiamins, Iron, C, D-3, and Calcium. I been using a medication organizer to seperate the Vitamins where I take 2 at a time.

This week I have biked, swim, and walked. (lost about 7 pounds) I've cleaned my house today and look forward to coming home after the hospital, healing and one step at a time becoming the healthy person that I was meant to be.

      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.
