I can't believe my surgery date is less than a week away - June 27th, here I come!

I haven't posted much but I have read a ton and learned even more...this is been a huge help in my journey.

I have been on my diet for a few days and I noticed that crystal light has caffiene in it, is it okay to drink? My pre op diet states no caffiene or carbonation.

I can not wait to be on the losing bench and I am already looking at the 2 lbs I have lost as 2 lbs I will never see again. I can't wait to get to know more of you better as I am not feeling a ton of support from my family and friends and know this is a community that will do that.

Thanks!

How exciting for you! I am in the process of getting to a surgery date. Have done psych tests, nutritionist, physical and now my next appt 7/12/11 to see how it has come together to get a surgery date. I was totally appauled and mortified today when I went in to the office they weighed me and showed me my actual BMI of 40.2 and my fat % was 49, my fat mass was 126. I wanted to sit there and cry!!!! It was all I could do to hold the tears back. It just totally reinforces this decision to pursue. I wish you the very best of luck and look forward to hearing about your success!

      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
