I got sleeved June 12, I'm praying these two weeks of liquids goes by fast. I'm amazed at the pounds I'm dropping. Starting weight 241, day of surgery 233, today @ 224. Gas pains are still uncomfortable but better. Each day does get better. I'm having so much trouble getting Water in, I don't want to get dehydrated. But seems like each time I swallow anything, I can feel more gas build up and a lot of pressure over the main incision on my right side. May everyone have a speedy recovery!!!

Today is day 5 of 13 of my pre op diet...I have never reached the "not hungry" state and each evening the hunger is intense. But I'm doing it (never thought I'd be successful!). And I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.... Down 4 pounds so far. I hope that number rises to at least 10 by June 25th!

Also have surgery on the 28th I started my pre-op diet on Friday. I am not going to weigh myself from. Friday (334lbs) to surgery day so I can be surprised :) I lost 19lbs in 14days on the same pre-op diet in 2008 with my Lap-Band so I am looking forward to the # at the hospital weigh in!

Hey Busterdoodoo' date=' I'm the 25th too! I start preop diet tomorrow but my Dr just requires high Protein. Are you ready for our big day?[/quote']

I am very ready!! Was nervous about a month ago but now it's just excitement. To stay busy this week so im not focused on hunger, i will clean one room thoroughly each night and finish up some yardwork. If i stay busy i do better. So i set out a schedule of something to do each day until surgery. What about you?

I know exactly how you feel. I'm 6 days out and was going to return to work on Wednesday. There's no way, I told my boss I'd be another week. I feel very alienated right now and not my usually spunky self. My guess is because of being on just liquids. It's hard to watch other people sit around and eat and be full of energy. I'm exhausted and tired of liquids. I imagine we'll feel better once we are on normal foods. I think everyone goes through this in the beginning. Right??

I am 5 days out and feel the same as you do.

        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
