Great for you! I am getting sleeved March 28th and I hope to have as great reactions as you did. Keep up the good work!

So I got sleeved on 3/9 and I have to say this is nothing like I was expecting. I have been virtually pain free, except for the gas. Walking isn't bad, it actually feels good. I hope all my other March sleevers have as easy of a time as I have! Good luck to all those waiting.

Except for the first 72 hours post-op, my recovery has been a dream. No pain, no problems to drink or eat. Easy peasy and awesome! :rolleyes:

Good luck to all of you going in this week!!

It is SUPER encouraging to hear how good you are doing! I am March 14th and actually feeling a bit more calm than I did the beginning of this week. At the beginning of this week, I was thinking of not doing. I am doing this pre-op diet, so why can't I just lose the weight on my own. Today, I don't feel that at all and I am ready to do this. I guess what I am saying is, I am all over the place! I hope I have as good a recovery as you do!! :)

Those thoughts are COMPLETELY normal! I was thinking the same thing. I made the 2 week diet why can't I do this on my own but then I thought of all the times I failed and remembered why I made this decision. I did good 'nerves' wise til I got to the hospital, that's when the OMG of it all hit me....LOL

Listen to your instructions and you will do great. Good luck can't wait to hear about your update.

I'm on Day 4 of preop diet. Going great here. For some reason, the liquid low-cal, low carb diet was easier than expected ( approx 500 cal/day and less than 25 carbs). Good luck on 3/15. Mine is 3/16.

Congrats! That's wonderful hear! I've been needing some encouragement lately. I get sleeved March 15th, and I'm getting very nervous. Ok, Marchies! We can do this. How is everyone doing on their pre-op diets?

        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
