Omg guys it's our last weekend b4 our surgery! It's the home stretch now how's every1 doing???

I'm a bit depressed. Haven't been on the scale for a week and I jumped on this morning to check how my pre-op diet was doing for me and I was 2 pounds up! Discouraging :(. I have been so good, high Protein, low carb, plus my shakes, under 1000 cals a day, just as prescribed. Makes me wonder if I will be able to lose with surgery?!

On the other hand, it's hard to believe its almost here! Mine is early Tuesday morning. I keep thinking the hospital will call and say they have to delay, I need more clearances, etc.... I'm just being paranoid, I guess. Trying to keep up a positive face :). Good luck to everyone this week!

My emotions have been all over the place the past week or so. It's a good thing I work from home otherwise my coworkers would probably want to kill me. My doc told me that people generally loose between 7-20 pounds on the pre-op diet and they can tell by the size of the liver who followed the plan. I'll be honest...I haven't stuck strickly to the liquids...not that I was hungry...just thought I was. Of course, that is one reason why I am on this path...right?! I know I am making the right decision, but I am getting really nervous...I'm prone to panic attacks and I'm afraid that as the morning of surgery approaches I will have a full blown panic attack and freak out. I am excited though to think that after almost a year of trying to decide if I really wanted to do this...all the clearances...and all of the tests...Tuesday will be here before we know it!!

Wicked nervous here! I have -no- doubts in my mind about the surgery and it being the right thing for me. But the build up to the "big day" is KILLING ME! :o

I don't have to check in the hospital till 1pm on Tuesday. Surgery isn't till 3. I'm so eager to just get it done with already!!! <3

Clear Liquids up till 10am... No food past midnight the night before. The food isn't an issue for me, but the liquids.... on a 95 degree day in Boston... will be tough!

(But OH SO WORTH IT!)

I've been thinking of food non stop today! I decided to tell my hubby and son that I'm going to bed. I feel like torture and want to eat soooo bad! I've been doing low carbs the past two weeks and as of today I've lost only 4 lbs.! I'm really scared for the first couple weeks post op. I've also been really on edge. Having such weird feelings right now. Thank goodness for this website!!!I get sleeve June 24th Monday at 5:30am. I'm the first one for the day!

June 25th for me as well! I'm in Boston. But unlike a lot of people here I didn't have to do a liquid diet pre-surgery... Is that abnormal???

I didn't have a liquid diet either. My surgeon said that if you were under a bmi of 50 then we had to do a lean Protein, brown rice, and a vegetable. Also, 64oz of Water and 2 Protein shakes a day.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
