6 days.... Wow. I am most nervous about not drinking Water for so long. After the anesthesia, that is going to be torture. The hospital I am going to makes you get up and walk for 10 min every 2 hours even through the night!

Hey there, I finally received the authorization to have my surgery on May 15th. I was denied; and it has taken close to three weeks to get the final approval. Hello, today at 5:30 p.m. Talk about last minute.....I have been on pins and needles for the last three weeks. I can't wait !! I started my liquid diet May 9th, and so far so good. I am so looking forward to the next chapter of my life. Wish me luck ~~ I am 64 (65 in October) ... And ready to start my new healthy life. Best of luck to all.

I'm the 14th. Holy crap! I can't believe it's finally happening on Monday. It's definitely all I can think about.

I know holy crap lol. I keep thinking I've been so myopically obsessed that I must be overlooking something really big. Hopefully not though :) I'm getting a little emotional the closer it gets. My boys didn't want to watch a movie with me right when I wanted to & I started crying lol. WTH?

And, irrationally, I was thinking, I might die in 3 days and you don't want to watch a movie with your mother??? LOL! Silly :)

Mine is the 14th. Right about now I want to just crawl in a hole and skip tonight, tomorrow and Monday morning & skip right ahead to Monday afternoon for surgery. Tonight I just feel like eating since I can't have anything except Clear liquids tomorrow. However, I know that's not right & I really don't want to because I know I'll regret it. I've always had a hard time with Mother's Day, especially since my mom & mother-in-law both passed away, so I just want to skip tomorrow. I also want to skip tomorrow since I know I can't Celebrate with food since I'll be having Clear Liquids (and probably be visiting the bathroom) all day! I want to skip Monday morning since I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight Sunday & my surgery isn't until 3:30 PM. UGH! I'll probably be ready to pass out by then! I just want this weekend to be over with for so many reasons! I need to put on a happy face for my daughters tomorrow though because I know they made me things at school & they're looking forward to Mother's Day. I just want Monday to be here and for everything to go well with surgery!!!

I have a FB page for my blog if anyone wants to follow it that way. https://www.facebook.com/MyGastricSleeveLife

If someone makes a FB group, I'll gladly join too.

I feel you sister! The waiting game is on. I've been trying to stay occupied but I keep ending up on this website, or digging through my pre- op manual!

        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
