On day 4 of the preop diet and I am no longer hungry but I keep bursting into tears at the drop of a hat. I'm so emotional and sensitive. I feel like an idiot. Did anyone else go through this?!

Day 5 for me and I did briefly break down today. My husband said something to me and I took it the wrong way. In hindsight, it was stupid and I normally would not have reacted like that. I am going thru periods of the day where I feel hungry. This liquid diet is tough! 9 more days to go! :)

Awww...honey, I'm sorry. :( It's probably just the solid food withdrawal. It will get better!

I was a hot mess the night before surgery - I think it's part of the process - just chuckle a little to yourself when you catch yourself acting like a character from a Telenovella!

Thank you all. @kirk you slay me. That's exactly how I feel today. Like a telenovela.

I cried every day for a week leading up to and after surgery! I was a mess! It was all the build up I had inside of me and it was finally happening. Plus, after surgery, you do not feel good for 2-3 days and u can't turn to food and I cried. Now, I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm fine. ???? Hang in there!

I have considering the surgery for quite some time. i was initially denied by my insurance company, then got approved the other day. I was told that my surgery would be in 12 days! I was excited that it was finally happening but it was really quick! It has been an emotional roller coaster but I keep thinking about the outcome and I smile again. Keep your chin up :)

I think the emotional roller coaster happens in pre and post op. I'm due to have surgery 05/20 and I have had a few cryung spells.

My sister told me she was on her way to her bf's house last night and i burst out crying like if she had just given me terrible news. I felt so guilty cuz she stayed. I even sent my bf a nasty text. I guess i'm just looking for a little attn maybe?

I cried the morning of my surgery when 2 co-workers called to say a quick prayer. Then i started tearing when a nurse came in to get my vital signs and then started secretly crying when i was walking away from my family.

This is an emotional battle for everyone and i feel like it is normal. Our body is going through a major change.

Don't worry it happens to the best of us!!!

Thank you so much to everyone. I am feeling a lot better now. My friend came over and was a very calming listening ear. I think my body is getting detoxed and my hormones are raging. I dunno.

      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.
