You can get thru this.... I didn't think I would make it thru all the liquid and restricted phases either. Definitely the toughest thing I've ever done.... But I made it thru! I'm almost five months post op and down 52 lbs! It's kinds like giving birth..... While in the process u think there's no fricken way.... But when it's over all u remember is how wonderful it is! Wishing u a speedy delivery. :-).

We have the same thing at my work and I feel your pain. That said, you can do this!! I'm pretty competitive so one thing that helps me is to think of all the people in my life who have said I can't do it and I pretend all the people who are visiting the birthday food station are saying in their head, "She can't do it...she's going to break and eat." That motivates me to stay strong. (Kind of screwed up, I know...but whatever works lol!)

Good luck! You'll be great!

We went on vacation during mine and my hubby was waiting to go to his fave restaurant...a world famous large buffet. Literally rooms of food.

I drank nothing but my Protein shake and kept busy by talking to people at the tables around us (they started the convos...so no I wasn't bothering anyone). I made it and I know you will too.

Come back to this site if you start to feel yourself getting tempted. We're rooting for you!!

Thanks all! I did make it through work! Yay! Was tempted but I know why I am doing this! A happy healthy life!

For all of those who say you can't go this trust me you can!!!! Just strength and will power! If I can be tempted all day long by a s'mores cupcake and not give in! Anyone can make it because anything s'mores is one of my biggest weaknesses

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
