Thank you for wishing me the best' date=' No not really nervous a little concerned about the "unknown" that comes with surgery but ultimately no worries. Ive been told that my pre-op diet will be a "liquid meal plan" consisting of Meal Replacement shakes like Carnation Instant Breakfast, Slim Fast, Ensure , Boost, and Gluecerna limit to 1000-1200 calories a day and to consume only 64 oz of calorie free, caffeine free beverages each day. This will occur 7-10 days before surgery day at which I haven't received notice yet I will be told or giving surgery day on November 28th. I'll share date as soon as its told to me!!!

Again Thanks and best wishes to you as well,[/quote']

A few more days to go and you will know your date.....I know you are on pens and needles. My count down has started and I have 16 more days.

How's the patient? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hello, I'm doing good. My Thanksgiving was great. I went to my sisters house and I drank my shake with no problem while they enjoyed the wonderful food. I was so proud of my self. Today is my first day of soft foods. I had a egg and I mad a bad decision when I chose fruit. I purchased pineapple not thinking about how tough the meat would be to chew. So I'm off to the store later the day.

My thanksgiving was wonderful, and now I am looking forward to surgery and the unknown that come along with it.

I was very nervous about the unknown after the surgery. So far the unknown for me is uneventful. Just planing what to eat. I don't care for leftovers so I was struggling with my list I can eat. I'm good now. I go back to work on Friday.

I am having my surgery with Dr. Davis on Jan 8th. My pre-op anesthesiologist appt. is today. I would love to hear more about how you guys are doing - so glad we are in this boat together and can share stories.

I actually pushed my stuff through with Tracy - I know she was ready to be done with me :-). I have had a great experience so far with the whole team.

      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.
