Congrats, that is great news, and only a 34 days to go, you must be so excited.

I was due to have my sleeve oct9th 2012 but had my op cancelled due to my blood not clotting quick enough, 3 days before, and every month since have thought it could be next month, and am hoping that i will be joining the march sleevers with you this march.

Will you be doing the milk and yoghurt pre op or the 800 cal food diet ?

I did the 800 cal diet last time because i am diabetic, and will be doing that again, not looking forward to the first 3 days, i could have eaten my own fingers, lol, but by the 4th day was into it and ok, i will try and keep a lookout for your progress, Janet, x

My date Is March 1! I am doing the pre-op for three weeks and I am now on my 3rd day. I had to laugh because it was so true, on the 2nd day I could've eaten my own fingers! Today is a little better, and hopefully just gonna get better as time goes on.

Hi all, I'm from Australia and have my sleeve op on 8th March as well. I have just started my 2 week prep and I am doing night shift as well. I think I was crazy doing nights and the pre op prep. Here in Australia you have to go on Optifast for 2 weeks 3 x day & have one meal of salad. It's going to be a hard task but I've just completed day 1 and am at work (it's night time here 04.30 hrs). Thanks for listening to me and good luck to everyone booked in for March. Cheers Aussie????

Good luck with your surgery Ladydawag2009. I'm being operated on the same day and I'm looking forward to a journey all about me. That's why I'm doing this as I'm 50 later in the year and I want my weight to be a Healthy BMI of 26. Got a long way to go to get there but I'm on my way now to achieving it ????

        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
