So glad to hear that you are doing so well! My turn tomorrow and I am a bit nervous. I have made it to the hotel, tomorrow morning it is across the border and into the OR. Still cannot believe it!

It will be all worth it! Hang in there and prayers for a smooth surgery & fast recovery!

Stormwarning,

Egg drop Soup is like a chicken broth base and they whip egg, like you would to scramble them, then once the broth boils they whisk in the egg. If you like poached eggs you would like it, if not the you probably wouldn't. Theirs here had 3 or 4 carrots chunks and 4 peas in it. It was good. There are also other Soups, one was chicken and something and she said it was a broth based soup. They also had wonton soup and you can just take the wontons out and it is usually like a veggie broth. They are $3.99 or $4.99 per large bowl. There is also a microwave in the room if you want to bring soup and heat it in the room. There is a mini fridge but ours is barely cool. The room is huge with 2 queen beds and tons of room, not crowded at all. I wish I had brought some of the Lipton creamy soup packets and a mug to make soup here. Since you are driving, you could bring more stuff. Also, there is a Mexican restaurant that is recommended in our paperwork, but the girl at the desk said it was quite a long walk and it was at the hottest part of the day. Plus it is on a busy four lane road and there is no sidewalk. We did not want to get run over going to dinner! We just walked the quarter mile or so to the Chinese place.

Think happy thoughts for me tomorrow! I am no longer counting days but hours....crazy!!!

        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
