Yes, I'm counting the days too! I only have 27 days left to go! I feel like I'm pretty relaxed about the surgery, but a part of me must be nervous because I keep having food night mares... Last night, I dreamed I was eating a big huge sub. About half way through I remembered that I was just sleeved and was supposed to be on a liquid diet... and I started freaking out.. And a few nights ago I dreamed I was in the hospital and I pulled fried chicken from inside my pillow case and started eating it... then I had to go for a leak test and I was trying to stall the doctor because I didn't want him to see the fried chicken in my belly.

Ya. I'm trying to play it cool but the dreams don't lie!

25 days for me now! I've been one week with not a drop of diet coke (or any soda). Huge huge deal for me. Im very proud of myself for that, I gotta say. I decided to quit the soda before my pre op diet. Everything at once may be too overwhelming. 5'5" @ 250 28 yrs old. I want to say to everyone worried about the pre op diet and those who wonder why its necessary...idk if your doc told you but the diet is necessary to shrink your liver. The liver in someone who over eats and eats BADLY is very large and fatty, and its in the way for surgery. It bleeds very easily and the surgeon doesn't want any risk of nicking it. You could bleed to death! Please take the pre op diet seriously. If you go for surgery they'll know if your liver has shrank or if its still (obviously) in the way and fatty. They could send you right back home. For those of us going to mexico self pay, tht would REALLY suck. Just something to picture in your head when you're on pre op diet and you feel like cheating.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
