sorry this happened to you bud :(

doctors frequently say to lose "X" amount of weight

he reason they want a weight loss is it helps shrink the liver, so its easier for them to perform their "magic"

another reason docs do this is they want to make sure you are totally committed to follow a "health plan" of proper eating for the rest of your healthier, happier, life

show him you can follow the rules and be successful............. :rolleyes:

but more importantly - follow the rules "for yourself"

we all want/wanted this surgery very bad

gotta go on the liquid diet again immediately if not sooner :(

easier said than done, but i wouldn't even eat thanksgiving dinner as planned

even if you don't eat as much as normal, you lose a day towards your weight loss :huh:

your date has been definitely resceduled for the end of december??

I can see B) the determination in your beautiful eys!!!

gotta commit yourself

you can do this

i know you'll be one of the many, many other successful sleevers ;)

take care

good luck

kathy

You can do it, I am on a liquid diet and only had 3 days to lose 10lbs. I was a so nervous. Only because if I could lose 10lbs. in such a short amount of time why would I need surgery? Anyway, I started on 11/22/13 and weighted in on 11/26/13, to my surprise I lost -12lbs. I have a renew outlook on the liquid diet. Drink a lot of Water. You know it's working when your going to the bathroom 20 times a day. Good luck, know you can do and you will!

        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
