I know this is a weight loss forum so I wot day eat but get some hard candy, something to occupy your mouth!

I held a pen between my fingers odd as that sounds. DO NOT GIVE IN!! The first 3 days are the worst, the next 5 suck and after that your into just the I want one bad not so much the I NEED one NOW stage.

Stay away from smokers during this time, caffeine can help odd as that sounds, I just drank allot of coffee and tea.

DO NOT EAT A LARGE MEAL!!! If your like me ad always smoke after a meal try small ones.

NYQUIL tonight! I would dose myself with NyQuil at night to help me sleep. Break yor morning routine whatever it is tomarrow so you don't smoke. I actually took 3 days off and slept all that I could.

Be strong and hand write some apology letters to peeps you will, not might but will snap at!

Holler if you need some encouragement!

Heck ua! And If you get irritated walk around and knife people or pistol em. Nothing says I'm mad at the world and makes you feel better than a grown man screaming at his tv because you keep knifing him.

Quiting is hard no doubt. I wear a patch and also have my e-cig. Let me tell you, it helps tremendously. And believe it or not. I can be around smokers and it doesn't affect me. And I smoked for 20 years. The first day is the hardest, but once the patch starts to work it is so much better with the withdraws. My problem is mental more than physical. And my Dr doesn't do testing for nicotine, so that surprised me. Good luck!!!

vanna,

Are you putting it on an area that has lotion? Sometimes the soap has moisterizers that can leave a film and make it hard for Patches to stay on. You should be able to chose multiple sites of patch application, i would consult the manufacturer info and see if another site works for you.

        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
