OK. I go to surgery 6-4 (as I already said). Am over a week into the 2 week 'Optifast' which is going well. Not body hungry at all; that ended after the 3rd or 4th day. Some head hunger, but so what, just will muddle through that!? Have participated in family & social activities without much 'food longing'. Am a bit more tired than before and "quiet". Not 'crabby', just quiet.

Talked to nurses yesterday. One from the hospital going over meds and supplements, medical history, experience with anesthesia, what to bring to hospital, who will be taking me home, etc. Other from surgeon's office confirming after discharge Rx . Will continue Prilosec for 6 months and need to take Lovenox shots for a month. Both nurses were very nice. As of now I report to the hospital at 8:00AM, but that might change and the final time will be confirmed on Monday, June 3rd.

Will keep calm and carry on!

I know I have been in here saying I have done the liquid protien shake diet before with my lap band, and it gets easier as you move through it. However, day three and I are not friends. I feel weak as heck, and I was only 30 minutes late with my second shake today and truly thought I was going to pass out while caring for a patient earlier today. So was I wrong? Obviously day three is not the magic day. What day did you start to feel better on your pre-op diet? It kind of scares me because I have the 2 week pre-op diet, then after surgery it is a month of liquids, followed by a month of purée, then a month of soft foods until I reach normal foods after that.

I guess everyone's body takes it different because for me I was scare to start this diet but I'm on day five and everything has been good no problems at all. I'm just hoping I'm not just a late starter.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
