OMG! I am going nuts here. I already had to miss the passover seder because I am on my pre-op liquid diet. I let that slide, because there isn't much to be done about it and I just avoided the situation completely. However, I have been without solid food for 7 days now and I sat with my son and dyed eggs for an hour and a half. All I could think about was egg salad, deviled eggs etc. etc. and all the stuff my husband is going to make with those eggs that I can't begin to touch. I know I will be getting all of it back soon enough, but it was sheer hell. After he goes to bed, I have to mess with candy and do his damn basket!!! I picked stuff this year I really don't much like, but right now everything looks good. I am not even really a candy person and I swear I can smell the chocolate through the sealed containers. Tonight, my husband is going to put the candy in the eggs and tomorrow we will hide them along with some of the ones we died tonight. Then in the morning I have to deal with all of this all over again. On top of this, I feel horribly guilty because my husband isn't eating much. I keep telling him to go eat, I know he is hungry and he says he just wants to be near me. I came around the corner today and he has a fork in a can of ravioli and he stops cold, like a kid caught in a candy jar. I haven't gotten on him for it, I have just been avoiding food. If anything, I have been telling him I know he is not eating enough. He keeps doing this anyway. I can't wait until my surgery Monday so I can stop being SO hungry. It doesn't matter how much I drink, my stomach growls SO loudly all the time. It even woke me up last night. I have lost 11 lbs in 7 days on this diet and I am very pleased with that. Today is the first day I truly got cranky about this though and tomorrow is not going to be any easier. Sigh.

I understand completely....I am on day 10 and will be cooking the dinner tomorrow for Easter and watching the kids eat their candy....All I want at this point is a fork full of mashed potatoes or something...I can't wait to eat any food besides liquids. I am done 13 lbs so far.

        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
