I am almost there!. I am now on day 10 of the all liquid diet, and I have to say, its going easier than I thought it would. I had pre-op at the hospital yesterday, met with surgeon. Things are on mission GO!. I keep thinking that I should be more nerveous, but Im not. For the first time in a long time I feel in control, I feel like I have a grip on it and I am so ready!. All of us deserves a fresh start and I just cant wait till 10:30 AM on August 15th. Thank you all for the support!

Awww so close to your big day! So excited for you. Nice to hear the positive attitude through your liquid diet phase. Your focusing on the end goal quite nicely and that will help you through the first few weeks after too from what I've read :) good luck!

Thank you, all of you @Shape_Shifter, you are right, that is a very good comparsion. I know that all of us are on this journey and honestly, this site alone has helped me so much with the support and knowing what others are going through too. Its a great feeling to know your not alone. One huge thing for me, is my two close friends at work decided to do the protien shakes as Meal Replacement for Breakfast and lunch ( I told them they had to eat dinner) and they have lost weight and are so happy. So if you can get a buddy to do some of it with you, it really makes a difference. We gather in the breakroom in the AM and lunch, I break out the magic bullet and we make shakes, we laugh and talk about different flavors, they have really made a difference in my attitude about this whole thing.

We all have our journey, its so nice to be on it with so many others.

I was telling my husband how nervous I was and compared it to the anticipation of childbirth for the first time...it's probably going to hurt like h*ll but will have a beautiful ending!

Childbirth was worse. You don't get to "sleep" through the birth and wake up on the good pain meds! lol I didn't have that much pain (or i had very good meds). You will be fine!

      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.
