I am set for January 14th in Alabama. I was suppose to have it done over the Christmas break but insurance issues came up. So I am now on day 3 of liquids. I feel ok. I haven't cheated. I am very nervous about the surgery but I have come this far and know it is best for me.

Me too: Jan 14 also. I am on low carb high Protein high Fluid diet and the weight is dropping off right now. Making up for my Christmas "Last Supper"!! My pre-op testing (ECG blood etc) is tomorrow. It is good to know a bunch of us are in it together. I'll be thinking of you here in Chicago!

I started my clear liquid preop diet today. Doing good so far, kinda hungry though. The low sodium chicken broth with a scoop of chicken flavored Unjury Protein Powder is pretty satisfying. Surgery is first thing Wednesday morning. Can't believe how fast the surgery date came up. :o

Cheers!

Hello everyone I'm set for Wednesday the 8th in San Antonio TX. I feel excited and nervous at the same time. Not so much nervous for the actual procedure but the adjusting afterwards. But I have lost 12lb on my pre-op diet so I'm very hopeful

First day of my 7 day protien shake and salad pre-op, Then three days of Clear Liquids before surgery on the 16th. Not a lot of fun, but I'm ready !

      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
