OMG! no that's way to long. My surgeon told me to start it exactly a week from surgery. I know it will be a struggle but knowing that it has to be done or I can't have surgery will be my motivation.

I started mine. I'm on it for 2 weeks. The Vitamin with the shake thing makes me sick. Going on 3rd day and head hurts. Guess because I'm detoxing from carbs.. March 12th can't come soon enough.

I start mine next weekend. She wants 3 weeks out cause alot of people it takes a week to get onto it fully and she said alot of people cheat at first. So at 2 weeks I have to be on it 100%.

Welcome to all the newbies...lol that was me less than 30 days ago. There are some tremendous mentors on this sight, folks who are months out and nearing their goal and a lot who like me are just slightly ahead of you time wise and will be happy to contribute whatever I can to your journey. I was sleeved march 7 and after a fairly rough weekend am now off pain meds and made my 60/60 goal yesterday of the first time. I told my husband it is like I have this alien inside now calling the shots and I have to learn how she communicates. But in less than 5 days we are doing pretty good together. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the treadmill and make the rest of my body mad. I will say all the emotions are completely normal, I was up a lot the last two nights prior to surgery and while I didn't really feel anxious or scared that was what it was. I'm happy to help anyway I can, feel free to hit me up if I can help. Best wishes to you all on your journeys!

      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
