I am anxious and really starting to get nervous too! Don't know why, I have had 3 c-sections, a tubal reversal surgery, gall bladder removed, spinal surgery & fusion and also a complete hysterectomy. This one just seems to be "getting" to me. I am doing good with my clear liquids- just drained some gumbo Soup and drank the broth so that was good! I was sick of chicken broth- nice change up. Now, to try my new martini flavored crystal light ;)

No Protein today... Just all clear liquids. I was on a 6 day Pre-op liquid diet & could have Protein shakes and lots of protein- but not today <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I did a little cheat yesterday and had a slice of pizza and felt sick after... And super guilty so I guess I am ready to get this over with! 17 hours and counting!

I am having surgery tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. With a check in at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. I have been on the pre- op diet for 6 days also. Already have seen a weight loss stomach is flatter. Havent cheated and actually am having a hard time fetting in all the shakes!! Makes me nervous for after surgery getting in all thr liquid!! I can't wait to see those results!! Get into my skinny jeans!! Bring on summer! I am nervous and have even had second thoughts! I am most nervous about all the inscision scars and hair loss!!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
