Yay nomore!!! We will probably be in the van with you if you are getting picked up this morning!!!! Lol we are at the hospital now but came in yesterday for same day surgery.... The surgery has been moved to today because my partner threw away her money order by accident at the airport yesterday... we now have to be driven back to San Diego to go to her bank this morning to get a new money order issued and the old one canceled! They would not do surgery unless she was paid in full first. What a mess -----but we will prob see you soon! Ps florence is ok... I had the Mi hospital for my surgery......and they both have their negatives and positives.....so far hot Water broken but they have since fixed it..... Tv very small and barley hear it with 5 English speaking channels(I'm not a huge tv watcher anyway) broth Jello and liquids have to be ordered and take about 30 min to get.....no where for me to eat anything but there is an order out menu lol...... in Spanish.... The cafeteria is buffet only and my partner has to buy vouchers for me.... I took a look and its not for me as its basically all vegan..... Lol I normally don't complain just sharing all that we have learned so far! There is food spots a block or two and stuff down by the beach which a little scary to walk....but we tried this yesterday....anyway we are managing and we will see you soon!!!! :)

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

      2. 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
