I am very nervous about the transition time. I work full time and I am only taking a week off from work.

I'm going back to work after a week also. I'm not sure how I'm going feel, being I move, and bend a lot. If I get too tired or start hurting, I'll just take off a few more days..

Be careful.. Let your your surgical wound heal. What happened to you inside is bigger than it looks on the outside!!! Stay hydrated too.. sips all day!! You should not lift or pull over 10 Lbs for 6 weeks. Do NOT take chances...Good Luck and take care!!

I am on the 29th. I fly down on the 28th to San Diego and then get a shuttle ride to MX. I have a lower BMI so they said I didn't have to do the week of pre-op liquid diet, just two days of clear liquid. But, I decided to try the liquid pre-op diet to give myself a kick-start on the weight loss and get mentally set for next phase of my life and new lifestyle. I wasn't perfect yesterday, but hey it is a start.

I am nervous, but more anxious about handling the diet afterwards as I travel every week for work. I am at my client site from M-F every week. I stay in a hotel. I have prepped as best I can with bullet like blender at the client site, Protein Powder, chicken broth etc.

      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
