Hi everyone! I'm doing really good :) in my hospital room on the 5th floor with a view of trees on the back side instead of the parking lot! I was stoked to see I have a single room with a couch, recliner and at least a 32" in size flat screen. Think they make these rooms nicer because I'm at a military hospital and our soldiers deserve the best, because down in labor and delivery the TVs suck lol! Then the AYMCA volunteers came by and brought me magazines and another tv with a blu ray player with a choice of tons of movies.

Enough abouth the room lol! I'm feeling really good, so far no complications other then I didn't get the robotic surgery because there wasn't enough staff. My surgery team and hospital staff are just the nicest! I already did 2 laps around the floor. I also have a IV with Tylenol and morphine so pain is minimal. Nothing to drink/eat yet, until I pass gas, so I'm enjoying my sponge pop. Also my pre surgery weight was 221 not the 225 I weighed at my moms house...so yay! I'm just so proud of myself for taking charge of my life and becoming the person I know I can be. Thanks for all the prayers and support!

        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
