Hey everyone, I thought I'd pass along this blog I follow. It's called The World According to Eggface. It's filled with lots of great tips, recipes, and giveaways. The blogger had RNY in 2006 and refers to it as having her "guts rearranged," which I love! Haha. She actually lives here in Temecula, CA where I live. You can find it on Facebook, Twitter (@eggface), Pinterest, etc.

Anyway, since we are all starting our new lives this month, I wanted to pass along her latest giveaway. It's a Nike gym bag filled with lots of useful stuff.

Hi all! This is day 8 of my liquid pre op diet and I've lost 10 pounds! Crazy, I'm not hungry, but I miss eating. Sept 11th is my surgery date. It's becoming so real! A little fearful and apprehensive at this point, but reading everyone's posts, even news about complications, helps so much! Thank you all for being right here when I need you!

Hi! Well I'm new here but I am having my surgery on Friday! (the 7th). It feels to me like the whole process was a long waiting game! Lol...probably because I am so excited!!! One week down on two week Protein Shake diet and one to go! Gosh has that been tough!!! But the lights at the end of the tunnel and nothing but blue skies ahead!!! :) wishing everyone the best!!! I hope you all have great support!!! I have come to realize people I thought were my friends say nothing but critical things and snide comments and lots of negativity!!! Just gives me more strength to overcome!!!!

      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.
