Tommorow is the big day!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I am a little bit worried about tommorow because I haven't had any solid food for three days! Just worried about the strength I am going to have during and after the surgery. If you all could send some prayers my way that would be great. I don't want to leave my kids behind.....Thank you all!

You know I am with you. You will be fine. Once you get to the other side, take your time to rest and heal. Don't push yourself. Nap when you can and drink the Protein.< /p>

You will be just fine. While you are recovering you will have an IV that will keep you hydrated. Today I'm four days out and as long as I get in my Protein and stay hydrated I've had enough energy and my appetite hasn't come back. Good luck tomorrow :)

You can do it, sugarmamma! The liquid diet is helping your body get through surgery...shrinking your liver so your doctor can get in there and cut away that stomach. I'll be thinking about you and your sleeve sisters tomorrow. See you on the losers side!

Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of your wonderful healthy life!! Don't worry about strength, you will be on an IV and you need to rest anyway. I'm 4 weeks out and thrilled, and you will be too. I will put you in my Prayers this morning Nina!

      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
