Good luck toda free@last :)

In other awesome news, EVERYONE in my household is sick right now. My 3 year old son is not so bad, just some sniffles. My 6 year old daughter though, I was up half the night with her because she'd have non stop coughing fits, a stuffy nose, just miserable. I would take her into a steamy bathroom, propped her bed up, attempted to unclog her nostrils with saline, rubbed Vicks all over her, ugh. And my husband started coughing and feeling like crap last night. So I'm sure I'm already infected and just don't know it yet. That'll be super fun having coughing fits with all those fresh incisions, ugh ugh.

I've been doing the house cleaning/packing bit today too! Flight leaves at 9am and I doubt I'll get a wink of sleep! I'll be leaving Hospital MI as you're getting there. I'll be sure and smile and wave as we pass through the revolving door going in opposite directions!! Thank you for being so diligent with this post. It's been been a lot of help keeping up with the fellow Mexico peeps! Have a safe trip and good luck with surgery!

Hi everyone, My surgeries went well, I also had my gall bladder out at the same time, so I was pretty miserable for the day of surgery until last nite. This morning I feel like a million bucks, and ready to get out of the hospital and get to the hotel. Dr Ponce is wonderful, and Trish has taken care of me and my husband like we were family very sweet!

        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
