I went to church today, asking God for forgiveness of all my wrong doings, not of last past weeks but of everything, even if he forgave me in the past. But this Sunday was different from other Sundays. It was and is my last Sunday of being a "Fat Chick" it was going to be the last time people come up to me saying "your gaining weight again," instead of minding their own business.. lol Calm down Christian girl lol... so i asked God to guide me, and if i was making the right decision, that he would be there will me guiding the surgeon and his crew, to bless their hands for success! that if anything, i want to be in his glory! Guys when i tell you God spoke to me! I felt his presence and tears just started running through my face, my hands were raised high, and i cried thank you lord, thank you lord because he had answered me!.. no one in the church knows about my surgery, not even the pastor.. I am calmer that i now know that God is always with me, and will be there in that room with me, with his angels around me.

So i am ready.. Today i went and bought two sleeping gowns for after surgery, and comfy sleepers.. and a make up bag lol..

My fridge is all pimped out with Protein Drinks, Isopure lol i hope it taste good.. with already mixed crystal light, more jello's lol.. still got some Protein Shakes from my pre op, about a week worth now that my belly will no longer be hugeee. i also have some Soups and other recommended items that i got from this forum Thank you all. got my gas x my Vitamins , i am pretty much set for 2 weeks, nah maybe 3 cuz i bought oat meal and cream of wheat.. for my 3 week phase.. so at 6:30 am i have to be at the hospital, right now i am preparing my with me bag, which my mom is going to bring after the surgery.. i am currenlty looking at my first goal jeans which i had for a year now,, size 8 lol lets see how long it will take em to fit.. yawn... sleepy.. let me get going wow two weeks past by so fast, just the other day i was readying someone else's blog about them having their surgery n me couldnt wait for my approval date lol n Gracias Senor !! Thank You Lord, my time is here!! good night folks see you on the losers bench!!

Congrats on your surgery tomorrow - another sleeve buddy with the same date! You should be in recover by the time I go into mine and that's a great thing because God is supposed to be in my operating room too! I hadn't thought to pray for no pain - thanks andkel30!! I certainly will start that discussion now! God bless and look forward to sharing our experiences on the board!!

:D

Whenever I had surgery in the past, I always cried in the pre-op room. I was such a bag of nerves. I was shocked the day of my WLS.......I was totally at peace. Not one tear. I was so calm. It almost seemed "out of body". It's that "peace that passes all understanding". You will do great tomorrow. My surgery was on a Monday, too. What a great way to start the week! Congrats! You'll do great.

Godspeed, my future sleeve sister! It's your time to shine! I'm a true believer that God carries us to victory when we humble ourselves in His presence. I to, have given charge, of every step that this journey will take me on. You will be cradled in His arms, while His angels, caress your face for comfort. Amen

        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.

      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
