I made the mistake of doing some math today....

Post-op I am to drink 3-4 ounces an hour with specific instructions of no more than 4 ounces an hour for the first 2 months-check!.

I'm supposed to drink 64 ounces a day-check!

I'm supposed to not drink 30 minutes before meals, take 30 minutes for each meal, and not drink for at least 30 minutes after meals-check!

Wait, huh? Apparently, in order to follow the rules and get my fluids in I can only sleep 3 1/2 hours a night???? This ought to be interesting!!!!!

I am new to the community and this is my first post. My surgery date is Feb. 18, just 2 weeks away. I am so excited, but very very nervous at the same time. Also started my pre-op diet today. The first half of the day went great, but by 2 p.m. I was starving and had a major headache. I am sure in a few days that it will get easier.

Oh that headache can be a nasty one. My surgery is Thursday, and my doc has his patients do 5 days of Clear Liquids. I'm grateful it's short and he allows Protein Shakes, but I am really struggling tonight. I had a full blown, kick in the head, vomiting kind of Migraine the first night. It cleared, now I am just a little fuzzy brained and really tired. It's easier, but it's hour to hour.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
