My surgery is Tuesday at 7:30am. Have to be at the hospital at 5am. So ready for this.

Too bad we aren't at the same hospital. We could race around the floor trying not to tangle our IV's.

Why do they want us 2 and a half hours early. Bad as catching a dang plane.

I hope so they can take there time on the the IVs to get it the first time, I don't faint. But I'm what they call a hard stick. It once took them 17 tries to put in an IV. I was not happy.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I'm looking at the beautiful full moon outside thinking who we all walk and live under the same moon no matter where we live in the US. If you have a chance take a look at the moon tonight.

Surgery is Monday. Wow I'm getting excited.

Glitter, KS, Super F and SaraJ how are you guys doing? Getting excited too?

The moon is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm good! I'm bored of my liquids, but I'll power through. :) I spent the evening at my dad's figuring out what we're gonna do after surgery, if I'll stay there or come home. I decided it'd be a game time decision. One friend said she would have been fine on her own at home (I do have a roommate so I'd only be alone while she's at work, and my dad only lives 2 miles away) and another friend said she needed her hubby. So we'll see. My bed would be nicer! Haha.

I can't believe 5 days from now I'll be on the other side of this!!

How are you??

Oh hell no. No way. I could not do it. I'm getting light-headed just thinking about it.

The two hours go fast. They weigh you, make you change, ask another million questions about your health history, start your IV...I couldn't believe how fast it all went.

Happy V Day, All!

What time is your surgery on Monday, Sher? I have to be at the hospital @ 11:30 and am supposed to have surgery @ 1:00.

I'm getting a bit nervous again. Today sucked ass. Everyone is eating chocolate and I'm just chewing sugarless gum. But then I think of why I'm doing this and how I got here. It's such a mind game!

Hey Glitter take deep breaths and relax. I have to be at hosp at noon and surgery at 2.

Earlier got an email from a lady who was sleeved today at same Dr's as me at 12:30 and in her room at 3pm. She said the only pain is a minor pain by an incision that I was told would be the one they move a muscle to take the incised stomach out of. She said she is doing good. Ice chips and was waiting to walk. So it's not all that bad after surgery.

Glitter think of how great you'll be looking next Valentine Day from not eating chocolate.

We all can do this.

Happy V Day, All!

How are you??

I think you would be fine at home w/your dad on call. Your own bed would be the most comfortable. See how you feel after surgery. Maybe your dad could come over during the day to check on you?

Yes time is going fast. I'l have my computer with me so I'll try to post the night of surgery = 3 night from now. WOW time is going fast.

We can do this!!!

I got to add Protein back into my life today. It was rough. The dietician suggested taking some shake and eating it with a spoon out of a shot glass. She said eat slow and take a minimum of 15 minutes. Took me almost half an hour and I feel sick! Blah!

Jen, have you tried adding the unflavored to liquids like crystal lite or Mio? I think it tastes ok but it smells funky so I'd keep it in a shaker bottle. That's another way to bump your protein.

      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.
