well my story is a bit different because I was scheduled for Nov 7, did the two week pre op and one day clear liquid (wasn't bad at all) was about to be wheeled into surgery when doc comes in and says your blood sugars are too high we are going to reschedule you for Dec. 5. I was devastated to say the least. SO now I have been working hard to get my blood sugars down, still sorta eating the pre op diet which is shakes and one low carb meal. But I will start it 100% day after thanksgiving. and hope everything goes my way on teh 5th. I have been dealing with some sort of kidney uti or something since saturday, on an antibiotic and waiting for family doc to call and tell me what the tests showed, Hopefully just a uti that the anitbiotics will take care of and I can get some blood sugars down and will be a go for December 5th. I feel like I had kinda a trial run, so at least I know what happens up to a point. If I wasn't in pain from whatever this is I would be in great shape. I have lost 20 pounds on the since july so that is good.

Melissa, Welcome!! Gald you are here and Vicki is right, TONS of great info on here. There is a December surgery thread on the pre-op board you should join. Feel free to check out us Nov folks for updates on how our surgeries are going. It helps ease the nerves.

As far as Xmas, I have decided everyone is getting gift cards and heck with the decorating. lol

Good luck to 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.

      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
