Sometimes i think i get hunger and gas pains confused. Believe me I cant wait either. But i have no idea what i want to eat. Im getting use to it too. It really is a all day thing. I go back to work tomorrow, so we will see how that goes. Its very light duty so i think i will be ok. When do you have your next appt with your surgeon?

I think I would have been cool to go back to work this week too. I'm glad to have the extra time off, though. My next surgeon appt is the 19th, so about 2 weeks and 2 days out.

I am not confused at all about hunger. It is very clear to me. It is a lot like a newborn baby. I get hungry every 2 hours or so, eat or drink, and am happy for a while. :)

Hey y'all!

Tomorrow is THE day! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Surgery is at 10 AM. After that I will be starting a brand new chapter in my life - the skinny one!

I'm on liquids for 2 weeks and am off work until December 2nd so I plan on sipping, walking and resting.

Please keep me in your prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

God bless.

~Susan.

Day one of pre-op diet begins today!! Sweet husband of mine just called on his way home from work wanting to know if I wanted Whataburger. Very funny man! Guess I'll go back to sleep with the smell of it testing me. Anybody know of bacon cheese burger sugar free Jello? Well sweet dreams and best of luck to all pre-op newbies and those who have having their surgery today. Stay warm and God bless!

Yesterday was my last day of Optifast for preop... Today I am only allowed Clear Liquids and I have to be at the hospital early tomorrow morning for surgery. I am so glad to be done with Opti it has been six (LONG) weeks with that stuff and I'm ready to see it go.

Hey y'all.

My surgery was today and was it great. My surgeon was very pleased. I'll be in the hospital until Thursday. They are taking excellent care of me. So far the pain has been minimal. I am on a pain med pump, ice chips and Water. And, of course, up and walking.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with everyone here. Please keep me in yours as well for a successful an speedy recovery.

Getting sleepy. Will update tomorrow.

~Susan.

      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
