Way to go Stacie! I am also sleeving Monday' date=' 4/23 at 11am in Charlotte, NC. Here is a tip: Isopure drinks from GNC work well in Jello, just use it in lieu of the cup of cold water.....mix and match the flavors to add Protein to jello for that first week, could also use Gatorade 3 which has protein ;)[/quote']

That's a great idea! I don't know if I can find a gnc today. Hmmm. I'm on all Clear Liquids today and starving. We are out at the zoo and of course they have no jello or broth. LOL. My parents really have me second guessing the surgery. They are fully against this and think I'm being irresponsible by taking such an "unnecessary" risk. I'm really in a bad place at the moment.

April 24 here, I'm excited and just a wee bit nervous. I just weighed myself, WOW Ive lost 16 pounds!! I reached my pre op goal of being 210!!

Now anything else until Tuesday is just a bonus!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I thought for sure I would faint from lack of food at work, but I hung in there. On a few days while working, I only had time to drink one shake and sip some water!! I'm a charge nurse and have been very short staffed, so short in fact, my boss, the DON asked me a week before my LOA if I could postpone my surgery!! I was like is this a late April fool's joke, cause it ain't funnyI said, uh no sorry Im leaving see you in 3 weeks! Sheesh, I just pray all is well for them, but now, it's my time to take care of me!

I am getting excited!!! I am scheduled tomorrow at 3:30 pm. The pre-op diet is going well. I am having a hard time getting in all 40 grams of Protein. I am just not that hungry. I am nervous about tomorrow though. No Water or anything after 8 am. I live on water. I wish every luck that is scheduled for the rest of the month.

I know we can do it!! It is a tool to help us with the rest of our lives :D

I'm scheduled for 10 tomorrow and am surprised how calm I am. Last week I was in a panic; this week cool and calm. Best of luck to all of you. We will be just fine. It will be interesting to share our experiences after the fact.

Good luck to everyone. My mom just got here and said that I need to change my mind and that I have not really thought this through. The last thing I need tonight (hospital at 530) is this stress, worry, and negativity. I'm so stressed.

      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
