I love the mini story! No. Not sleeved yet. Thursday morning. I'm ready! I totally used to tell my friends "I can eat that, I just have to wait for it to go to my lower tummy" lol.

i was the same way! Haha. By the time I got my sleeve done I was eating so much food. What's your post op diet like?

Yeah. I hit a day of "omg, I will eat my dog!" It sucked and I was a b***h all day. I even punched a wall and made my knuckles bleed. I am never violent and rarely that angry. It was awful. I am here for you friend. Just try not to punch me. :)

When u said that about your dog I laughed so hard! I kid you not, less than 10 minutes ago I looked at my shih tzu and said "Lilly, I wonder how many meals I can get outta you". She just huffed and went to sleep. If she only knew how close she was to being a rotisserie morsel....

I'll restrain myself. No punching. Promise.

Jen's is Thursday and mine is Tuesday. There are several of us right together and it really helps to have the support. Being able to get on here and have friends that actually understand what you're going through is a lifesaver.

I don't smoke. Maybe I'll learn to crochet or something.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how I am getting through it. It's day 8 for me too and tonight we had dinner at my parents. They all had hot dogs with home made chili and slaw. Yummmm. It smelled good. But I never even had a 2nd thought. I had my Soup and then Greek yogurt for desert and was satisfied. Even better I was proud that I made it through a family dinner with no issues.

I love exercising. I know that's weird but I really do. And I love my gym. I can't wait to get back. I started running over the summer and it was hard but I would like to get back at that.

Knitting or crochet would be a great distraction. My best friend and I also are re-watching desperate housewives from the beginning. It helps to sit there for an hour and not be able to get up haha.

I took colace all through my pregnancy and it helped me tremendously. Also, are you getting enough Water? I know we are on the 'quids but I have to ask. Lol.

I could probably stand to drink a bit more actual water. I drink water with my ProtiDiet concentrates and at night, b UT during the day the last week I pretty much drink Powerade or gaterade G2.

I am so proud of u girl!!! I really think I'm struggling so much tonight Bc of that yogurt that had 18g of sugars in it. I swear I bought sugar free but they weren't. Omg it just kickstarts something in my when I eat sugar.

I'm sure that's the issue. You've been so good about eating no sugar and super high Protein. You just need to get through the night and give away those yogurts. You will get through 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.
