I was thinking today how fast it seems to be going towards the day. I have preop class on the 4th then surgery on the 16th...18 more days!!

Is anyone bringing a robe to the hospital with them so their booty isn't hanging out when their up walking around?

They give you an xtra hospital gown no robe needed

Robe, slippers, clean underwear, note pad, pen and chapstick. Oh and phone charger. That's what my friend recommended. He said the note pad to write down things as you are coming out of your anaesthesia fog and chapstick because your lips are so dry afterwards.

Sorry to hear they had to move your surgery date postponing it for another week. That really sucks. We have to get a mind set preparing ourselves for the surgery, then poof we have to reinforce it for another week. My heart goes out to you. But they just moved it. Mine is scheduled at 10:00 AM on the 11th. Three days before I start the liquid diet. Good luck and onward to a newer you.

I just started my pre-op diet today. Protein Shakes, very low fat and calories, they have every meal and snack very structured on what exactly to eat and just how much. The good part is that it means surgery is getting closer. I go for my pre-op testing and such next Tuesday Sept 3rd. Lets get this going!!!

My surgery is on Sept 3rd. I've been on my 1 week pre op diet for 3 days now. For the most part, it has been okay. Surprisingly, I've had energy and have not had low blood sugar moments. That was a big concern going into this been diabetic. However, it has been extremely hard to make dinner for my family and sit here with my shake when they are eating! Yesterday, I was almost drooling over a boiled hotdog! And I don't even like boiled hot dogs! God give me strength to get through this next 4 days and beyond!

My Protein Shake is only 100 calories and 24g of protein. They said that I should have 60-80 grams of protein a day. In my final meeting with the nurse yesterday, she said that we can have 100 grams of protein. Yippie that is one more shake to round up the day for a total of 500 calories a day.....practically starving, no wonder I'm hungry! But I will get through it, because I don't want additional problems for the surgeon!

        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
