Dec.6th here & my stomach's in knots but excited at the same time.....

I am the 6th as well. I have a terrible headache, probably from stress ( family issues) while trying to get ready for surgery.

I'm scheduled for December 26th. Anyone else on this date? I start my pre op diet on 12/12. I'm truly not nervous. I'm ready to get this over with and start a new (thinner) life. The anticipation is the hardest. I've researched and researched until I'm tired of making lists. I did some shopping this weekend and got a mug warmer, demitasse spoons, cocktail forks, small dishes, a couple of king sized pillows, some REALLY soft pillow cases, a soft cuddly blanket and a new nightgown. I have been researching Protein drinks until I'm blue in the face. I envy all those people who only have to do 1 week preop and those who get to have real food. Figure it is getting me ready for after surgery when I can't eat solid food.

I'm more nervous about the mushy stage. I don't like mushy stuff so figure I'm going to be on these Protein shakes awhile! Good luck to everyone going ahead of me. Please come back and post your results so I know what I need to change. What did you wish you had taken to the hospital? What do you know now that you wished someone would have told you about?

Good luck everyone. Here's to a new us in 2013!I

By the time you get to mushie stage, you may be grateful for the change.

Kim I just messages you to add me to the fb group

I don't like fb. Isn't there a section for when you have your surgery? I thought I saw it lower on the list of topics.

Two more days! 12/6 is almost here and I'm ready for some mush!! I had a week moment and at a chicken nugget I was heating up for my kids last week. OMG it gave me a gall bladder attack. I thought I was gonna die!! I'm so ready to not feel hungry anymore.

I know what you mean but don't set yourself up for defeat. Read some of the post-op section. Some people take a while to get to that stage. Find other ways to calm and relax yourself. Yeah, I know easier said than done especially with kids around but try to make a list of things you can do in different situations.

Today is my day too. I am getting ready to head tote hospital in about 10 minutes. My stomach is feeling yucky due to the prep and antibiotics my doc puts you on the day before surgery.

Praying it all goes well! I know the prep is a hassle but it is for a reason. Just keep focusing on the goal.

I also have to do a 2 wk pre op. My instructions are to have a Protein Shake 4 times a day with Water in the middle to fill the gaps.

      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.
