Day 4 is in the books



Recommended Posts

Day 4 of liquids is done and I must say that today was much better than yesterday. I did have some pretty bad nausea today and was dizzy, but it seems that has subsided. Onto day 5 tomorrow...and Friday is weigh in day. I wish 50 pounds could be lost in one week, but I know thats not going to happen.

Your doing great, I dread that part but you are an insparation. I know it's just the beginning of the process but it's still scary, it's good to know your doing so well. I'm still waiting for approval.

Thanks so much. I am on the preop for 4-6 weeks so it is hard. I just keep reminding myself of the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm tentatively scheduled for nov 19th pending insurance approval. I'm so sick of being like this I'm temped to start my pre-op now with you. Do you get any solids at all?

No solids at all. I get 4 Protein shakes a day, unlimited sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth and Water. That is all. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Well you are in luck, because I don't know where you live to get you!!!

I don't think most people can go a month without having a slip up...

Oh kids dinners are the worse (or the hardest) I always finished my children's leftover bits as not to waste! Now I scrape them into the garbage or the digs bowl.. And It's still hard sometimes!

Don't feel like a failure because you are not. Just try and do better tomorrow! Just remember this is in your hands and you are giving yourself a wonderful gift that you deserve :)

        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
