Just kinda freaking out...



Recommended Posts

I've seen these posts, I know I am not in a class of my own. I still can't convince myself all Is well. I guess I won't be until proven otherwise. What's the saying about not worrying about things until they happen.... Or something like that. I worry about them canceling my surgery because I don't loose enough at my final weigh in tomorrow, I worry that something in my final blood draw comes back and they need to postpone. I worry about not waking up after surgery and leaks and strictures and doing things right. One step at a time... One moment at a time. In just a few short days I will hit the 7 month mark since my referral. I've dreamed of this day for months and its finally here. I just need to make it through the next 32.5 hours :-)

If you made it for 7 months these next 32.5 hours may seem like forever but you are almost there. I think if you have done what you needed to do thus far you will be fine. Just don't be so hard on yourself I had teh same worrys. I always thought that something was going to stop from me from getting my wls but I made it through and now I have to live with it. Just try to relax and do your best ,your almost there. :)

You can't worry about the what ifs (easier said than done, I know)......don't waste precious time worrying about things you can't change, life's too short, and stressing enough as it is.............they told me I'd lose 20 pounds on the preop diet.....I only lost 10......and I was the preop princess--no cheating, stuck to the plan......no problems.....good luck!!!!

        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
