Eating like I am going to the chair

No more mimosas? What's a girl to do? One of my fav wines is slightly carbonated. I will have to join the binge brigade and have a nice barbecue meal as well.

One thing I know I will miss though and it might sound crazy' date=' but I love taking a nice cold bottle of Water and just drinking it down. I already decided that will be the last thing I do before I go NPO the night before surgery.

Backtobarb, I miss mimosas too, but don't worry too much about missing your water. I am 13 weeks out, and I can easily turn up a cold water of bottle and drink it all. I've never had any problem drinking as much as I wanted.

I really hope I will too. There's nothing better than downing a cool bottle of water- well... a mimosa comes in a close second :)

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking this way! I'm a newbie and scheduled for surgery in Oct. I've been allowing myself to eat what I want thinking it'll be the last time ever. I know I should start making changes now but it's so difficult!

I think I would literally choke someone for three French fries! Just 3 fries!!! I'm not hungry but I just keep smelling what people are eating around me is annoying!!! The smell seems stronger for some reason. Weird. Even when someone was eating crackers next to me I could smell it. One of my coworkers was standing over me eating a cookie the other day and I had to get up and walk away! I was so annoyed! I have 2 more days of work left before I get sleeved Monday. So happy! {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

I am 3 months post and prior to pre opt. I went nuts prior to pre opt diet. The night before the liquid diet I called it the last supper.

I just had my "last supper" today was my pre-op appointment (which took 9 hours!) and tomorrow starts my pre-op diet. I realized that there really are some things that I won't ever eat again, so I took advantage of that and ate my favorite meal, spaghetti. Lol

        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
