Recommended Posts

I'm feeling nervous and excited and ready to be on the loser's bench! You all are still saving my seat, right?!?! The liquid diet has been tough but I'm proud that I have done it and lost 11.5 lbs as of this morning :) Will be checking in as soon as I can manage it to let you all know how everything went!

Thanks Lissa!!! I am excited myself! Can't believe it is really here and my life will be changed tomorrow. I know there will be some rough times but I will keep my eye on the prize - and that prize is me! I have to be at the hospital at 730 and Mr. J has to be there at 6 so I guess our surgeries will probably be maybe 8 and 10 or something like that. I don't know how long the prep/wait is but that is my guess. Will keep you updated!

Good luck to you, and sending prayer your way. My date is the 28th. I started my liquid diet today and am a bit nervous about my success with it as the first Protein Shake of the day tasted fine, but did make me nauseous. We shall see. Can't wait to find out how you're doing. Congrats on the 11+ pounds!!!:-)

Thanks SusieQs! Sorry to hear your shake made you nauseous! I have done just ok with shakes. They don't make me nauseous but I also don't really like them at all and right now I can't imagine being able to take in a whole shake or more post op when I know how tiny the sips have to be and how long it will take. I tend to drink mine down quickly while they are really cold but I won't be able to do that after today so we'll see how it goes! Good luck with your liquid diet. It was tougher than I expected but did go quite fast. Will update you all as I can!

Jess

        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
