Oh I totally can relate to that. Trust me. When I had my surgery I had my sister & my nieces & nephews up visiting our very ill father/grandpa. I also live with my ill father who is in end stage renal failure (on dialysis) & has a bad heart (docs dont give him too much more time due to his heart) & I also have a roomate that I have to cook for every day. I had good days & bad days when I was on the liquid diet ( I had a couple of melt downs if you ever see some of my other posts) but it does get better & easier. I am only a lil more then 5 weeks out so it was not that long ago I steuggled with having to cook for everyone & not have any of it. Just stay positive & keep your head up & keep looking to the grand prize at the end---- a healthier, happier you!!!!! You did this surgery for a reason & you can use that reason as your motivation!!!! Keep your faith in God & let him help you on your journey!!!! I wish you the very best on your journey & I pray you find strength in your results along the oath of this journey. Anything that is hard in life is worth the work!!!! Nothing is easy & this surgery is definitely not an easy route & it will get rough at times but as long as you can stay positive & focused on your goals you will be happy!!!! I hope this helped you some.

Aww I didnt mean to make you cry. I know it can be rough but just stay positive & every morning when you wake up google a positive qoute for the day & write it down & put it up on the fridge or a cabinet or a mirror & everytime you feel down or upset or even frustrated walk over to it & read it & remind yourself of how great you are & how much you have accomplished each day & even just from having the surgery itself!!!! I mean taht was a huge step to take & that in itself shows courage & determination!!!!! Yoy will do great on your journey & this forum is great for giving that extra lift tou may need as well so always feel free to put up anything you may be feeling whether it is a bad day or even a celebration of your succes!!!!

        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
