As I look back it does seem that the past 6 days on pre-op has flown, but my days themselves seem to last forever. From the moment I wake up til I'm trying to fall asleep. Time drags for me. I can't find enough to do in the day to make time pass

I like to think as myself as excited, but when reality hits I get a little uneasy. How are you mentally preparing yourself? For some reason I am nervous about how I am going to handle the minutes and seconds before surgery. Like waiting in the OR for them to put me out. Idk why this is the thing my brain is dwelling on! Lol. I am almost hoping they put me out and THEN take me in to the OR. Wait, do they? Because that would be great xD

I just don't think about that part of it. My biggest fear is the IV. I faint. They scare me. You know what my surgeon said about that? She laughed and said "that's ok, you'll be lying down when u get it" lol.

I could worry about it now, but me worrying isn't gonna do anything to change things. So I don't. I'm sure as I get closer, like the day before, I'll start to get more nervous and worry, but I'm gonna just let the excitement in for now.

Yeah, I'm still far too excited about all this to be nervous yet.

I feel bad now Bc I get to eat lean Protein n veggies on my preop. I ate some shrimp and some spinach. But it's such a tiny amt I'm allowed that it just makes me want more. It's almost worse than saying I can have nothing

Don't feel bad. I'm barely above the BMI cutoff to have surgery and today my doc told me to not lose anymore weight. He said I could eat a regular dinner tonight and tomorrow but I didn't do it because I don't want to. Weird, right? I am afraid it will make me overdo it. So I had an extra greek yogurt and will add a fourth shake to my days. Ugh.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
