Tomorrow is my appointment with my nutritionist because I have finally lost the 60 lbs I had to loose before they would schedule me for surgery! I am praying that everything goes good!! I am a little worried though because when I weigh myself I weigh myself first thing in the morning in my nightgown! I know that clothes add's pounds, as does Water weight you gain through out the day from drinking, hormones etc. I did weigh myself in the outfit I am going to wear (yes I did), and weighed myself between 10 and 10:30 today (my appt. is at 10), and I weighed 3 lbs more than I did earlier that morning.

So please pray that they take off for clothes and water weight etc. Or pray that I'm close enough they just go ahead and schedule. I have been waiting a year for this, and have worked my butt off since Nov. 2012 to get down 60 lbs. Once I'm schedule I'll have to lose 15 more lbs, making that 75 total before surgery. They talked about making me do a 4 week pre-opt diet, so I'm not too worried about loosing those last 15. Even with a two week I think I would be OK.

Everyone just pray that I can get my surgery date tomorrow!

Thank You!!!! :)

PS. would it be too anal of me to take a picture of my scale and print it out so I have prove that my scale weighs me 60 lbs less? lol

      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
