Thank you so much' date=' I am ready for my new start.[/quote']

I have read a lot and apparently there is shrinkage of the fatty tissue so it definitely is beneficial. I am not liking the liquid diet I have cheated several times but made sure it is healthy Proteins And only small portions 1 time a day for satiety. It seems to be really helping and I'm loosing weight already getting into smaller sizes. Surgery is officially a week away on the 30th and I'm spiked but scared about the ability to find likable maintainable foods postop. I have such a varied pallet now that I'm nervous as to the changes that may occur later

My surgery went well on 4/23/13, I went home yesterday, still really sore and tired. I am walking and taking in Clear Liquids, not a lot but enough they said. My pouch likes Jello and Popsicles

The surgeon found a Hernia he had to surgically repair, and a lot of scar tissue they had to remove, he said it was really 3 surgeries he gad to do, so now I know why I'm sore. I haven't had any problems with nausea at all Thank Goodness.

Thank you honey, no regrets here. I'll take it a day at a time like my surgeon says. Good luck to you all, they really keep a close eye in you and only let you go if everything checks out ok.

        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
