Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my day and I'm so excited but I'm so emotional. I can't stop tearing up.

I have an amazing support group who is behind me 100% and this week has been really really hard not being able to eat, but hey I have already lost 11 lbs!!!!!!!

I am looking ahead at things to come and living a happy active lifestyle with my kids. I'm to be at the hospital at 6:45 and my first surgery starts at 8 (tubal ligation) and my sleeve is scheduled for 8:15!!!!

Wish me luck!!! - Tiffany :rolleyes:

My surgery is 8 DAYS away!! Having this surgery means so many mixed feeling. Focus on your END result. VISUALIZE yourself doing things that maybe you can't or are difficult for you before. Use positive words. You will get through this, you will be fine and everything is going to be GREAT!!!! :rolleyes:

I'm sleeved!!!!! yay! Everything went beautifully, when i woke up in recovery I did do a bit of dry heaving .... which wasn't the greatest thing to experience but boy the pain meds are fantastic!!! The doc kept telling me that my liver was tiny and he was so happy that I followed my liquid diet to a T.

So all day today I have been waiting around with my hubby to see if I get to go home and what happens, about 30 minutes after my hubby left, the doc shows up and says that I could go if I wanted to. There is no leak and all my spots on my belly are doing well. The pain that I am experiencing is the cut on my belly button, right shoulder pain and there is pain that happens between my shoulder blades. The pain meds work really good and it's funny I can time when the pain between my shoulder blades come back, 6 hours to be exact. Weird huh. So I am staying here one more night then I am out of here around 10 in the morning.

I am soooo proud of myself, I am officially on the losers bench and I did this for me and I can't be more thrilled. 2011 is going to be one amazing year!!! Nothing is going to hold me back!

        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
