I have a DATE! February 15 - Dr. Johnson's 1st surgery of the day! Already packing my bags for the hospital. Might camp out in the parking lot just to be sure I'm not late.

Hi,

I am starting to get nervous and excited. 13 days until surgery. I have my nutrition class tomorrow, and I believe I have to do a liquid diet for a week before. I will get all of the information tomorrow.

How is everyone else doing?

Yea! I can join a group now! My surgery date is 2/15 and I can't think of a better Valentines Day gift to myself. Who knows, maybe next year I'll have a date for Valentines Day.

I'm being banded by Dr. Malley in Kansas. My Supervisors are throwing a food orgy for me on 2/8 and bringing all my favorite foods that I will no longer be gorging on after my surgery.

I can't wait. Good luck to everyone on their upcoming surgery.

Sharon

Hello everyone!! this is my first post... I'm having surgery in 7 days (Feb 1st). Start liquid diet today. I can't wait to get back in shape!! I'll be the first person that I know of to have the surgery. I hope this works, with out major complications. I am an E.R. Nurse and I really want to inspire others. This is a great site. I've gotten a lot of valuable information here. Good luck to all... I'll be sure to let you all know how I am doing...

Susannah how can you stand it. I hate being such a whiner but I am unbelievably miserable on this stuff. I feel exhausted all the time and totally depressed that I can't eat. Heck I am even craving healthy food like grilled fish or cottage cheese.< /p>

Gday Babygrl, believe me it does get easier, and your body becomes used to it more each day. I may have an advantage here as it is summer and the weather is hot. I always eat less and lighter in summer.

Keep at it, the time will pass. Susannah

Thats good to know. I have had to pass on duties like feeding the kids and buying food to hubby right now because I can't even deal with it. Heck I had to fork over my debit card and cash so I won't feel the need to stop for fast food. But hey I am starting to enjoy sugar free Jello so I guess that is a plus!Are you getting so ecxited for your surgery?

Gday Baby, I am not really excited, but more nervous to be honest. I will feel a bit more relieved when it is all over and I have recovered from it.

One week to go. Susannah

      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
