Thank you! I was incredibly tired the first two days home. My only "issue" was taking too big of a drink and it being uncomfortable for a few seconds. But now I don't have that.

Who all is on their liquid diet? I started mine Monday' date=' I could have waited till today to start it, but my son is gone to camp till tomorrow, so I thought it would be easier to start it when he wasnt home and I wasnt having to cook for him. It has worked out great. I was told if you can make it thru day3 or 4, you were good. So far, so good! I can only have Clear Liquids, broth, tea or coffee with sugar free sweetener, SF popsicles, SF Jello and 1-3 Protein Drinks (EAS AdvantEDGE brand only). Then on the day before, I can only have clear liquids and have to do a colon cleanse.. :blink: Fun day that will be....lol[/quote']

I'm on my 10th day and its still difficult but I'm down 10lbs so that's a good thing. I get sleeved on Monday. Can't wait to get it over with!

Getting closer. I go in for my pre op with the drug nurse today, then surgery tomorrow. It's kinda weird I don't feel excited or nervous. I'm in a nice state of calmness right now.

Hello everyone im new on here my surgery date is set for july 22 . Pretty nervous and excited at the same time. Anyone having problems with family support? My mom is not so happy bout me having surgery my sister also . The only real support i have is my husband would love to hear from anyone thanks for your time

Corina, I am the opposite...my mom and sis are all for it but my bf (who suffers from severe anxiety) doesnt want me to and he is always theeatening that he is going to call the hospital and tell them I am not following their rules or that I am taking steroids so they will stop the surgery. Lol I just laugh him off and say GLAD there ate HIPPA laws! The hospital cannot even tell you I am a patient there!

      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.
