Who is driving you home? Do you have someone to help? I will pray for you. You are very brave.

I think you need someone to drive you home! In my hospital, they won't even release you to a cab! Good luck!

I haven't had a solid yet. I was the same day as you. Are you still on liquids only?

I should have mentioned that, I started cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, refried Beans on Thursday. Prior to that was only Clear Liquids.< /p>

Because it's to help shrink the liver and I should only be eating "good"carbs....if that makes sense?

Good to know, my surgeon didn't tell me that, but maybe I'll just have those without the Protein added for the next few days then. Thank you!

We all probably had some second thoughts' date=' but then for me I just said but what life am I living now?[/quote']

True better today just want to get past the first 3 days surgery, I'm a wimp I am ready. Just afraid of failing like all the other diets I've been on. I so desperately want this to work!

No' date=' I have not had 2nd thoughts. Just scared for the after surgery part. The gas in chest, not being able to drink, no energy. But the pay off will be worth it. I have been researching foe 2 years & followed 2 friends go through this journey. I've been really grouchy the past two days and "nesting". I want my house clean and organized for my hubby and son. I want to be able to come home and relax without having a dirty house. crazy nerves I guess? ![/quote']

Yes I can understand that I have been leaning today also. And I'm anxious about the gas pain surgery and all that too. Glad to know I'm not alone! Thank you.

      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.
