Recommended Posts

Yes' date=' they called me too! I have to be there at 5am, looks like you're first up :) The liquid diet isnt a problem really, I have zero appetite just thinking about Tuesday. OMG

Also I have a cold, no fever or chest congestion....but I have a head cold. Hospital says no problem unless I have a fever. I hope thats really ok, dont want to end up with pneumonia.

Hows it going for you?[/quote']

It's going good, I was originally suppose to have surgery on December 28th and got the flu on the 27th. They couldn't do surgery since I was running a fever. I was so disappointed because I had did very well on the liquid diet and then got sick. But now I feel really good and glad I rescheduled. I hope you feel better. Best of luck to you. Lets keep in contact so we can support one another!

I have a cold too going into tomorrow - I just called my doc to see if I could take Zyrtec tonight - got the thumbs up - so that will help me sleep also :-)! I am scared to go in with the cold - I almost always get bronchitis this time of year - that would really suck if I get that with staples!!!

Yes! Good luck to all of us tomorrow! Will be thinking of you all! I can't believe the 3 of us will be at the same hospital just hours apart from each other. Maybe I will see you walking around in the halls! LOL

Prayers going up for everyone!

Hi everyone. It is 9:30 am on the day of surgery, and I don't report until 12. I'm dying for Water but of course I can't have it. I posted earlier about getting my period. I have some terrible cramps this morning, bad timing. I'll try to post tonight. See you on the loser's bench!

Congrats Jeff! I had surgery at 2pm today, and I am doing great. They are letting me sip 1 oz of Water, crystal lite, or Isopure every 15 minutes. It is helping.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
