I am the same day!! I get worried too which I usually dont for surgery. I just want it over already, plus the preop diet is kicking my butt. I also find I am nesting at home. Like I did before having my son, Trying to get everything straight.

The diet definitely is no fun! I am starting to get things ready for my husband before the surgery. We have 5 kids so some of the stuff I'll have to wait & do last minute.

I'm scheduled for sept. 23Rd as well. Started pre op diet today. I'm proud I haven't cheated but so tempted to do so. I don't know how people can do this for over a week.

Hello! I am September 23rd, as well. I have a 5 day clear, sf liquid pre-op, so this is my third day of that. I had a hard time with it yesterday, but today has been pretty smooth, at least so far.

Nerves? Oh yes, but I keep reminding myself that I am at a huge danger just being my weight now. This surgery is life changing, so I am trying to look at it like the blessing it is. A year from now, we are ALL going to be in a much better, much safer place, physically!

Good luck to all and CONGRATULATIONS! We are taking the first step on an amazing journey!

(Oh, I am in San Diego, CA)

My surgery is September 23rd at 12 Noon. I've been on a clear liquid diet and have had no problems. In fact, I am feeling great. I am falling in love with the nectar brand Protein powders (especially the Roadhouse Lemonade and Fuzzy Navel). I mix with the Wyler's Light singles or Crystal Light and it tastes really good. I also like the Pure Protein shakes and the Atkins Cafe Caramel. I have 1/2 cups of SF Jello already made up! My Will and Health Directive are done and tucked away. No drama, should have updated my papers a long time ago. Looking forward to my surgery and praying for a good experience.

There is no turning back for me. This is it and I am ready. I don't worry because I trust God so I can't wait until Monday. To my fellow September 23rd Sleevers, sending prayers up for you all! God knows how much we want and need this surgery so he will take good care of us.

        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
