I'm 8 wks. post op and have felt lots of different emotions. I gave up 3 major friends in my life that were doing me harm... #1 food, #2 smoking, #3 diet soda (8 cans/day). Since I gave up my 3 favorite friends I did/do feel lost a bit. I have traded them for new friends who are health, good healthy food and a better way of life. It does get better as the days/weeks pass when your body heals and you start adjusting to life without the constant obsession with food.

When is your surgery? You have every right to be scared, I was extremely scared but wanted the battle with my weight to be over and done with. You have a support group here on RNY and your hubby and me :) THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS :)

Op is on the 22, I can't wait to battle my bulge head on! Think it's just anxiety never been away from all kids at once and I haven't really told anyone! But can't wait to feel normal! Lol! X

My surgery date came up soooo quick, it took two months from when I went for a class at my surgeons office until surgery. My surgery was on April 9th and I did not tell alot of people either. Of course my family knew and a few close friends at work but that is about it. I am new to this site and it seems pretty supportive. EVERYONE has anxiety before surgery, I am having surgery on the 26th to remove my gallbladder, this surgery will be done by my gastric bypass surgeon. I just started to heal where the incisions were too. He said he will not make any new scars and use the same incision spots. I'm just not looking forward to more surgery expecially when I am feeling fantastic !!!

        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
