Ever since I took the magnesium citrate stuff this morning my stomach has been queasy. I have had to sip slowly and force myself to drink all day I am so nauseated. Is it nerves? Surgery tomorrow at 1. Good luck to all my surgery buddies!

Good luck to all my bypass buddies today! Yes I said it today because its actually here. We are finally going to the hospital, I'll be thinking of all of you! Keep us posted. I don't feel sleepy at all but hopefully I can close my eyes for about 2 hours. I'm excited and nervous at the same time! I'm even excited bout not having to go to work!

Hey, you know the special sanitizing wash they have you use the night before and morning of? Did you use it on your face and neck and all the way down to your feet and toes, or just abdomen? I'm hesitant to use it on my face.

I don't have to use the wash but from what I've read on here its for the surgical site. I wouldn't put it on my face. Good luck!

Do not use on face! The paper I received with the pack said not to. Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly after you use.. Also don't shave just prior to use like I did. It will burn and tingle for 12 hours after!

Good luck to all of you my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. My surgery was 22nd I got home yesterday, Sunday mid day.

Very excited for tomorrow! I have to report to MGH in Marquette, MI tomorrow at 5 AM. I'm first on the surgery docket. I have not been able to sleep the last couple of nights because of being so damn hungry from the all liquid diet. Anybody else tomorrow?

        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.

      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
