Question for all of you "on the other side" that have already had your surgery. I've been on the Pre-Op diet since last Tuesday and I noticed this weekend that I feel a little nauseated in the mornings. No - I'm not pregnant - way too old and have my parts removed but did any of you have this? It worries me a little bit since I'm getting nauseated on the PRE-OP diet and haven't even had the surgery yet!! Any and all info will be greatly appreciated.

Did you get enough calories and Proteins? I had some nausea and dizziness and found that I was not drinking enough. Hope you feel better. Hang in there! Blessings!!!

Beachbum - I wonder if that's part of what's going on inside the body. Remember, we are pushing it to starvation mode.

I also had to share that I saw a recent picture of myself for the first time since surgery. What did I notice, out of all the changes?

My eyes! I don't remember the last time I could see my eyeballs! Usually there was too much fat in the eyelid and below squishing them out of view. So to me it looked like I had "crazy eyes", when in reality it was just normal!

Weird.... Just had to share.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It was because I was dehydrated in the mornings - my blood pressure medicine has a diuretic in it and I was taking it at night and believe that was what was causing me to be nauseous in the a.m. - I switched it to daytime and no more problems! I'm one week and one day out today - starting to get a little panicky but have pre-op appts with hospital tomorrow and final meeting with Dr. Antonetti on Thursday so it's full speed ahead!

Doing pretty well - finished with everything and just in countdown mode now. Found out this morning at appt with surgeon that I have a hernia that will be repaired in conjunction with my sleeve also. Must be a SC thing : ) -

I had lost a total of 36 lbs since 1st of April - 10 lbs in 2 weeks on the pre-op diet! How are you doing?

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

        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.

      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
