Well, as it turns out, I haven't gained approval yet, so the 16th is definitely out for me. In fact, it's unlikely it will happen here in December at all.

Best of luck to you all next week and in the coming weeks!

Hi I'm getting sleeved on the 16th also. I'm so nervous today that I'm sitting here eating something that's definitely not on my liquid diet! Good luck everyone.

On Monday I will be at the hospital at 5:15 a.m. - happy for the early time - better to get up and get it over with! I'm in NC - so weird to think that people all over the country are feeling some of the same feelings I am!

Good luck to you all!

Ready for Monday! Was super busy at work today, thank goodness! Have to arrive to hospital at 5:30 am, it's 45 minutes from my house...not sure how much sleep I will get Sunday!

I cheated after getting home and had a slice of deli turkey... Chewed it to mush and thought of spitting it out too. Figured it couldn't do too much damage. Crossing fingers! This liquid diet has not been easy, but I have given it 98% and I think that isn't too bad! As of this morning I have lost 6 pds. Started liquids Monday morning!

Wishing all my fellow 16th sleevers a peaceful weekend and a good experience Monday!!! Get your toes done, but leave big toe unpolished for anesthesiologist!

My daughter is heading over to pick up the perishables and some crackers and such that are not going to be eaten!

My husband and mom will be at the hospital during and daughter will come when she gets out of work.

I had a headache every day for about a week when I started my pre-op diet. I read somewhere that if you eat a lot of carbs then stop that can cause headaches. I was a carboholic.

        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
