I'm beyond excited :) Down 13lbs and hope this fatty liver is a little bit smaller. I'm stocked up with Protein powders/sf jello/broth & baby food prunes (I've been told its good to have on hand for possible Constipation issues). We can do this !! We'll be on the losers bench before we know it

It went really well! After the 4th day, I never even felt hungry. Just space out your food and Jello and whatever Snacks you are allowed so you are eating something every few hours. You'll do great!

Well hopefully it will be early. My husband said the faster it's over with the quicker I can start recovering.

Actually, someone asked that in my pre-op class yesterday with the bariatric nurse...Pretty much the answer was as soon as you feel up to it. Most of the women in my support group waited a few days to a few weeks... some said the surgery increased their appetite ;-)

      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.
