So excited! This process has gone so fast! I literally visited my weight loss center 2 months ago for the first time, my insurance approved me last week and I'm scheduled for the 1st! I'm very excited and can't wait to see how my life improves!

Although... Having the surgery done on April Fools day is kinda weird! I hope the doctor doesn't have too good of a sense of humor!!

I'm getting sleeved on the 1st too! Do you have to do a preop diet? If so, how long?

I kinda have a pre-op diet. On the Saturday before surgery I have to drink magnesium citrate. Which I guess cleans you out. Then on Easter Sunday I can only have Clear Liquids.

I have to be at the hospital at 6am, then surgery is scheduled at 7:30.

How about you, what is your dr having you do?

I start full liquids today, so that's exciting. I am feeling really well though. I get out and walk every now and then. I can't wait to do strength training though. I don't want any loose skin!!

I cannot do soft/pureed foods until 4/21. I also seemed to be stalling. I am going to try to increase my liquids. I still drink so, so slow. I have lost 14 pounds. What kind of foods are you eating?

I've been eating tuna w/lite mayo, string cheese, egg, (I had a quarter piece of salmon on Sunday), Soups, cottage cheese, milk, Greek yogurt (trying to get use to it, not too fond of it but trying to get my Protein in that way) lol and that's about it for now I wanna try the recipes my nutritionist gave me

      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.
