Okay, you guys are torturing each other now. So you decide what's going to be best for you. This will be so much fun! I can't wait!

I love torturing Mal!

You are the guest of honor, you choose!

You're the Princess of the Evening, so be one!

Hey Mini- Dr. K. told me I could eat whatever I wanted to on the night before my surgery. I was just banded on May 14 and had about the same amount of weight to lose. I was so worried that my liver would swell up after that one meal but he said that it wouldn't. The only way my liver would be swollen on surgery day was if I didn't do what he asked during the week before surgery. So you can eat whatever your band friends will be willing to watch you eat ;-}. You are being banded on my daughter's birthday. I'll be praying for you! What time is your surgery?

It's at 1:30. Thanks for the info. I was thinking somebody had said you could eat whatever, but I wasn't sure. Happy bday to your daughter (on the 2nd). A fabulous day for a birthday!!

Is Princess of the Evening similar to Mistress of the Night?

Anyhoo, how about the Mexican place you guys were talking about? Is there anything there you guys can eat?

No, it's a BBQ place.

They have these BBQ Beef or chicken nachos.

Any other desires, my Dear?

Does this mean, I'm going to meet you in person, in Parker, day after tomorrow? Oh My Goodness! This is so exciting!

yes, we're going to meet!! For reals!!! I just don't know what to pick. Seriously. Is there a good mexican place? That sounds good now that I think about it. But I really will be happy going wherever. I'm relatively low maintenance that way. OOO, I really like thai or vietnamese or indian too. But we need to go somewhere that has stuff that will be okay for you guys to eat.

Hmmm, I can eat anything as long as I chew it well and take smaller bites!

I love Mexican. Let's do that! Mal can give us a name of one near her house, which is not far from the hospital!

I love this! I wish I could meet all the banditos! Each and everyone has given me such support, encouragement and joy. One day, I hope!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
