Im new here, this is a wonderful site. My days are numbered. Surgery on June 19. I'm getting ready to start my two week liver shrink diet. I am excited but in the same breath nervous. I am very afraid of pain (yes I'm a wimp). It's becoming sareal. I will be hospitalized for two days after surgery.ive been reading post on here it seems like it gets better as days go on. Im just a bit nervous nervous. .but you have all been through it or are right here with me in the same boat. I'm happy to know that I can talk to people who understand.

Welcome Melissa. :) It's a great site for info from people who know or who have been there. Many are just starting the journey just like you and I'm one of them. I have my surgery date...it's June 6th. Pre-op workup for me tomorrow. So we'll be starting about the same time. Good luck with your journey and definitely stay in touch. Any questions this is one of the best places to get it but, always remember...any medical issues should always go to your doctor as well.

Hi Melissa, my surgery date is the 22/ June and I am too getting ready! I have been tuning myself in to thinking no cheating! I think I would be mortified if they started surgery then didn't finish because my liver was still so big!! I am very nervouse excited but I guess this is the feeling we all feel?? I love reading all your threads it keeps me inspired! Love and luck to you all

        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.

      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
