Wow, 30 days!! I am on a 2 week Protein diet (3 shakes, 2 bars, certain veggies)...am on day 10 today and it's really hit me how tired I am. I think the pre op diet is key in that it helps us mentally and physically prepare for limited food intake. By the time we have our surgery and are "forced" to limit our food, we'll be pros!!

In other news...August 6th is right around the corner!! My anxiety level gets a little higher every day. Today someone brought in a box of donuts and I have to admit, it was REALLY difficult not to dive head first and inhale.

Yeah for us August sleevers!! We are gonna be HAWT come next summer!! :D

I feel your pain!!! Being at work when they bring "real" food in, is a KILLER!!! Yep, 30 days, trying to decrease the size of my liver! Will have been on it for 2 weeks come Monday....then only 2 more weeks to go!!! Surgery is on the 22nd of Aug. GO ME!!! I will not cheat!!! LOL I have to look at the big picture!!

Ready for the NEW ME!!!

My date is august 25th in fountain valley

Hi Krystal24...I work in Fountain Valley!! I'm guessing you will be over at OC Memorial. How exciting. My date is coming up super quick...this Monday the 6th. Oddly, the surgeons I go to in Newport Beach choose to work out of Tri City in Hawaiian Gardens. Go figure. But I can't complain because that is much closer to home for me (I live in Signal Hill).

2 more days left of the Protein diet, then Sunday is all "clear" liquid day, then Monday is the day! Whoo hooo!!!

On Day #11...and there are brownies in the break room. AND I'm starving!! The hardest part over the past 2 weeks has been trying to maintain my workout routine while consuming less than 1000 calories a day. It's crazy. I have found that my mental state has become WAY more taxed. But I just need to make it through the weekend. Monday is surgery day and I'm ready for it to be here!!

Just got the call from the hospital. My check in time is at 6am this Monday!! I knew my day would be 8/6, but wasn't sure if they would take me in the morning or afternoon. Can I tell you how relieved I am that it will be in the AM!!! It will make the day before a little less painful with having to be on only Clear liquids. I will for sure savor every last drop of my last Protein shake Saturday night. :lol:

I only stay the one night in the hospital. Will hopefully be home and recuperating in my own bed by Tuesday afternoon.

In other news, I hopped on the scale and it looks like of the 20 lbs I gained over the past 3 months, I lost 15 of them, which makes me appreciate the pre op diet that much more.

So excited!! :P

      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
