How are you doing, Bettyanne?

My surgery is on Thursday. I had some food throughout the last 2 weeks, but the rest of the time stuck to my diet...and now there will not be any cheating whatsoever. A couple times I thought I might pass out if I didnt' eat, and my son had been away for a few weeks...so i had a little bit of a cheat day with him and my girl...felt i needed that to be able to move forward....and I had been broke while he was gone, so I couldn't do a thing...the timing has all stunk.

So, how are you? I know how it can feel lonely sometimes....and when my children--son--is driving me nuts, life with a pre-op diet gets hard.

I'm doing pretty good. Recovering from surgery and pretty bored! I've been staying with my parents all week (they've been taking care of me lol.. I'm 26 but I still need my parents when it comes to this stuff lol). I get one more week off of work. Not sure what I'm going to do! Read maybe... Look for another job lol. Start thinking of recipes for puréed food. I feel like life is consumed by this surgery, but that's okay. On to a healthier life!

I was on the liquid diet for 1 month. Cheated two days before surgery with a stupid sandwich. I regretted it so much and cried for a hour and a half thinking I wasn't going to be able to get surgery. It ended up fine but I should never cry that much over stupid food! I had to wait 13 hours to get an answer if I could still get surgery. Eating that stupid sandwich just wasnt worth my misery. Lesson learned. I've never been more motivated!

13 hours!!!! What for? 2 days? Isn't 2 days long enough for a sandwich to be out of a stomache? I'm worried now....do I have something to worry about? Oh geez.

      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
