Sleeve day is Thursday. Eeeek!

I made a whole list of chores and such to accomplish this weekend. So far, I'm only about 20% done so tomorrow is either gonna be a really long day, or some of these things just aren't gonna get done!

Getting my bags ready - hospital bag and bag of stuff to take to my parents house. I figure I'll let them pamper me for a day or two before I'm home alone.

Took my "before" pics today. Wish I did this 53lbs ago when I started so I could see how much I've already accomplished, but better late than never, right? Taking the pics made it feel so 'real'.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FN HAPPENING!!! YAY!

I'm excited/nervous/scared/anxious/happy - all at once. It's an interesting emotion!

liquid diet is going well. All my hunger went away when I was taken off my bp meds last week. The very next day it was gone, hasn't come back since. I have no idea if the bp meds had anything to do with it or not.

Looking forward to getting the surgery, getting through my stages, and actually having something TO CHEW ON again. :)

Happy Saturday, yall!

Good luck! I understand about your list not getting done. I had a long list of things to get done this weekend and maybe 20% got done. I do have tomorrow!! I can only imagine the list prior to surgery (mine is scheduled for 06/04/13). Best of luck and keep us posted!

I'll be posting my progress, for sure! I'll have my phone handy in the hospital, pretty sure I'll be on this forum if I'm not sleeping or walking around the unit. :)

Good luck to all of you with your upcoming surgeries!

I am up tomorrow morning also, I can relate to it finally feeling REAL! I have been talking about this for months but it seemed like a million years away. Now it's less than 24 hours and I'm nervous, excited, and ready to be over the surgery hump and back to healing. I have a history of blood clots so I'm on the shots and will be edgy until 2 weeks have past, then I'll know the greatest danger is over for me and I can enjoy moving on! Cannot wait for this next phase of life!!!

I was driving this morning, and my brain was working overtime, worrying about the surgery tomorrow, pain, and all my random thoughts,etc..then I turn on my radio and I heard the Swedish House Mafia song saying "Don't you worry, don't you worry child, heaven's got a plan for you." I thought, I am all good, and ready to do this, and the big guy upstairs has my back too!lol I had to share it with everyone!

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

    • 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
