Hello all.. I am an August 27th sleever.. I like this smaller post... The other one I read is up to 40 something pages? Hard to keep up ith it!

I don't start my liquid diet until 8/17, but I have already stocked up on Protein shakes and beverages from Dr. A's list. I haven't been emotional.. YET.. but I did tear up a little when I started reading those 15 emails from Susan.. it was REAL then. I think it was nervous tears because I am going alone and the thought of coming out of sedation and not seeing a family member shook me up a little. BUT, I know this is what I need to do....

So sorry about the strep throat. My son gets it and it is so horrible. My Dr that treated him says you have to carry the strep bacteria in your body to get it. The rest of our family does not get it but he can be just NEAR someone and get it. Hope the meds help you feel better super quickly!! R>E>S>T -_-

I think you are doing great considering. And I think it's just fantastic that Dr. A was checking on ya.

I know I won't regret my decision and I know this is best for me, but imam in that phase that I am questioning myself if I can really do this. This question is only coming up cause my days are ghastly flying by. All is good. No backing out. I am ready for a New Me!!!

I just hope that I have lost enough and did well on my diet that it shrunk my liver.

      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.
