I will have to convert the kg to pounds. Lol ;). Where are you from? Love meeting new people. It's great. Good for you. Keep up the great work. I'm starting my 2 week pre op diet on my birthday, April 30. It consists of 3 Protein Shakes throughout the day. One for Breakfast, lunch & evening. Also for dinner a lean cuisine meal. I need to also get 64 ounces of Water in throughout the day. The day before surgery liquids only with 4 Protein shakes. Can't wait to start this journey.

South Africa? That's awesome. I'm from the United States. Burrillville, Rhode Island, USA A very woodsy, rural area in Rhode Island. Wow, its interesting how every surgeon has their own pre op/ program regimen. How is the program going for you? Has it been hard to stick to the program? You seem to be doing well.

3 weeks from today I have my surgery. Starting to get a little more nervous! Is anyone else starting to get a little anxiety about their surgery?

      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.
