Oh my goodness jlmckee. I'm so with you and well said. I just got the phone call from the hospital. My surgery is at 7 am. I have to be there at 6 am. It's finally here. I'm just now drinking my Magnesium Citrate. It is disgusting. Like really, really disgusting. I got lemon. I could barf but that's ok I'm doing this and I am sooooooo ready. I won't be sleeping tonight. I never sleep anyway but I know it won't be happening tonight. I'll be up trying to distract myself. I'm glad it's first thing in the am. Less time to chicken out. I've told so few people about it that it's easy to pretend it's not happening but now it's here.

pls be sure to keep us all updated. Speedy recovery for you:)

Will be thinking about all of you as you journey into health. Prayers for a flawless surgery and full recovery.

It is worth it! [2wks post op today and aside from food restriction, I can't even physically tell I have had surgery...most energy I have had in years]

Kenny... Enjoy your new beginnings.. Take a heating pad to hospital.. Really helped me with some of the discomfort from the carbon dioxide gas's as they desipate throughout you! Walk walk and walk!

I see most of you who have surgery tomorrow are still on here tonight:-). Good luck and God bless!

It's been a week since my surgery, and I still can't believe I did it! We are strong and can do this. My thoughts will be with you.

Kenny W,

I'm not on the losers bench yet but I'm sure it's totally worth it. I'm on my 3rd day of a 10 day liquid diet. They say it gets better, I guess I'll find out. I'm scheduled for Feb 5th. Good luck to you, you got this.

I am very very sore. I haven't had any issues with gas yet. Just nausea

Thank you all for the nice words. Anyone having theirs tonight or later, God Bless and good luck wishes

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
