I just found out yesterday that my surgery will be July 30! They moved it up from August... It's really great to hear that so many of you are doing so well early on postop.

:o You are allowed to have all that so soon after surgery?

yep! The full liquids im on for 2 wks, includes all those plus a few more things (yogurt, popsicles, milk-based soups). every surgeon is different, though, and some other ones are allowing their patients things like mashed potatoes and egg salad only 1 wk after surgery! I have been really lucky so far - NO Constipation, NO nausea, NO trouble getting in liquids or Protein. i was so frightened, thinking the absolute worst would happen, and every day is better than the one before. i wont weigh myself till i see my PCP next wk, i made a promise not to obsess over the scale, but I lost 20 lbs pre-op. also im having a better time getting up from bed - that was tough the first couple of days!!

      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.
