Checking in, looking forward to my surgery next Tuesday the 18th! Who else is on the 18th? I know some have been moved back and some have joined us.

I'm doing the preop diet this week, high high Protein but not just liquids. Everything is from my drs office food store, mostly shakes, bars, and a decent "real" boxed dinner like a frozen dinner. I'm so surprised that I haven't felt hungry eating 800-900 calories a day! This protien stuff is where it's at for feeling unhungry.

I have a sense of peace and calm, no more anxiety. I feel very confident in my doctors skill and the rest I have placed in Gods hands, and a peace has grown in me, so I am just ready! Dreading the 2 weeks do liquid diet more than the surgery:(

Let me know how all my 6/18 partners are doing, and good luck everyone!!

So Takingback, you have to do two different diets? Wow! I am lucky I only have to do is low carbs. Best of luck on the liquid part. You'll do awesome!

Molly, congrats! When didu have your surgery? Tell us the details for the first few days!! ;)

Sorry, Sherwins1! I just now saw this...

Well surgery is the EASY part...The recovery has been a little challenging! I had surgery on fri 6-7. Sunday, I went to the ER because of a fever and I had something on my left side of my tummy that was causing the most horrible pain & it was no where near an incision. It ended up being the end of the hose from my pain pump so, no biggie & I got an IV while there! So glad I went & thank goodness for IV's!

When is your surgery?

Hi folks,

I had my surgery on Monday... I want to remind you all after surgery the Gas is going to be miserable. Walk, walk, walk, even when you don't want to, walk. You will thank yourself for it, trust 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.
