In approx 24 hours I will be getting up to go to the hospital. I think what I'm doubting the most is, this isn't like any diet I've ever been on. Weight watchers for example, oh ill use my extra points, or ill start Monday. Essentially there is no way to quit or cheat or start over Monday. So I need to tell myself, do this and do it well. Don't stop and for once in your life be healthy and happy! It's going to be tough but I can and will. Do this!

Preop diet starts today, just one more holiday. I've had 33 Christmas' I could enjoy it even more next year! My last supper was pops Cereal, as if I hadn't been last suppering it since Oct when this all started!

You will do great Ortega. I was sleeved on 12/19 and am loving it. I have no hunger, food has no interest to me at the moment, although I can't wait to be off the Protein Shakes and be able to eat some real food. Your new tummy will not allow you to cheat, and if you do it'll let you know. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a quick recovery. Just some advice, roll your shoulders for any gas pain in the chest/back/shoulders...it helped me alot!

We will do great tmrw and for the rest of our lives!!!! Stay focused and positive! We must approach this like if not this then nothing else. This can't be just another diet!!!! If we do that we will never use it to our maximum potential!

        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
