Oh wow the weekend is going to go super fast for you! Are you ready? I'm just starting to feel excited about it this past week. Maybe a little more excited about no work for 3 weeks lol. Last time I was off that long was about 7 years ago.

I am excited! Like you I think I'm more excited about being out of work for 2 weeks! If I need more time then I will take it but so far just two weeks! We're going to do great!

I think not being able to have any liquids after midnight Sunday is going to be the hard part. How are y'all doing on your pre-op diets if you had to have one? Are you already packed? I am I've just got a few last minute things to pick up.

The pre-op diet has not been bad at all. I'm on Atkins. There have been times when I really want to have something (pancakes!) "one last time", but that passes. I messed up once with a small piece of birthday cake, and that was it. And I am with you on no fluids after midnight. We get no Water at all until the next day after surgery! I have no idea how to handle that yet.

I have packing left to do and some cleaning, but I am torn between doing that and just going out and having fun and forgetting about chores lol. Rebel!

I was also concerned about not being able to drink Water for so long....I remember the day after surgery laying there using the oral swab they give to to wet your lips .....When they were not looking i sucked all the water off....before you know it your taking little sips and it feels great.....Then the doc comes in and says you can have crystal lite. That is HEAVEN...... I remember thinking i would pay 50 bucks a glass for that crystal lite it was so good....but i was in the hospital so i probably did LOL

Good morning my surgery is this Tuesday, I just finish packing and saying bye to all my favorite foods. I am nervous and excited. I am expecting a lot of pain which I know I can handle what worries me is the emotional withdrawals from food!!! God's protection, strength and guidance too all of us.

Congrats to you both! The time is going to go by so fast! I'm already wondering where my morning went. I have to be at the hospital at 5 in the morning. I hope I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to get in as many liquids as possible because I know after midnight I've got to cut it off for hours. Continue to keep us posted and I'll do the same!

      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.
