Hiya! We are in the home stretch eh? Part of me is nervous but part of me is saying can we just do this already please? I want to get on with it, get through it and get healing. Then I can focus on skinny lol. How are you doing? Are you on the liquid diet?

I'm nervous but more numb I think. Before I thought this day was so far away and now I can't believe how fast it got here. You and I have similar stats. If you need a weight loss/surgery buddy I'm here!

It certainly does stir up a lot of emotions.

Hi Lisa, I had my surgery on the 7th and ai was home on the 9th. The first 2 days I could hardly get 2 tsp of anything down but now I can get a little more in and tolerate most of what I've had. I started having massive headaches and felt nauseous + felt like my lungs were closed. I went to emergency but they couldn't find anything and said it was likely to be anxiety or stress related. I woke up and felt ok this morning, more energetic and I drove for about 15 min. The same headache/ nausea symptoms came back and so I took Gravol and went to sleep. They were gone for a bit but now they're back again. Have you had similar symptoms?

Wow that's scary! No, it hasn't happened to me. I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond to you but i didn't see this. I find the setup of this forum very confusing in regards to new posts. Its even worse on my phone. I hope you feel a lot better now! I have caught with nausea since surgery and i still feel lightheaded but don't know why. My followup appt is Friday.

        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
