Yes 2 more days! I'm so nervous lol

I'm sure we will both be fine! I'm more excited than nervous! However driving to the hospital and waiting to go back will probably kill me!! Lol

Things are good. Just physically drained, no energy. Lack of food, but exercising is taking its toll. Other than that I am down 45 Lbs.

I got a ride. Once there I was so busy with everything they were doing I didn't have a much time to dwell on what was going on.

45 pounds is awesome!! I am definitely worried about the no energy. I have a demanding job in that aspect. I took an extra 2 weeks off work to get my stuff together. :)

What do you do (work)? I only took 9 work days off. People thought I was crazy, But i had to go back just to stay busy. Being drained is most likely my own fault, I tend to push myself. Ex. they couldn't keep me in the hospital bed. I was up walking laps around nurses station. Kept teasing me saying I was training for a marathon. lol

I was sleeved 2/12, amd the first 2 weeks I had no energy at all. Now I am on creamed food and I have noticed the change in my energy. Just make sure you pack your creamy Soups right. For example, I do cream of broccoli, spinach, and watercress. Helps A LOT. Best of luck!

I'm a Paramedic. I was originally going to take 2 weeks off, but I know that my first call would require some weird twisting/lifting/positioning and I didn't want to risk it. Plus I do a lot of lifting and I don't want to go back feeling too weak. 12 hour shifts can be rough!

I think cream soups are considered "thick liquids" per my surgeon. I'm required to get 80-100 ounces of thin liquids plus 90 grams of Protein in for 2-3 days BEFORE moving to thick liquids.

The "what not to eat" list has me nervous. I don't want to make myself sick or do what I'm not supposed to do...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
