Glad you two are doing well and not in too much pain :). Did they offer you any liquids? My doc. Said I would only get Water and ice chips the first day.

I only got ice chip so far but only until midnight because they are going to check if there is and leakage today I'm hoping it's soon that they run this test, since my throat is getting dry!

My surgery is in two days. I'm a little nervous, but trying to stay positive. I've convinced myself something is going to go wrong. I'm a worrier like that. Good to see so many people in the same boat though!

UPDATE!!! Received a call from my Surgeons office and they have moved my surgery from the 17th to the 12th. Starting my liquid diet Friday THIS Friday. I'm not going to lie, I instantly panicked and walked in circles, talking to my self for about 5 mins, then kicked myself in the butt and reminded ME that I have been preparing for this since July 2013 and I am READY no matter what the date. I am anxious but also THRILLED. Good luck to ALL!!

My surgery is on Friday...I'm a lil bummed because it's not till 5:45pm!!! That's a long day of NO eating or drinking!!

I'm on a clear liquid diet starting today (and it sucks the big one) sooo lethargic.

I'm a worrier too...so I totally understand. But I too am trying to stay positive! We got this!! :)

that's a long time to wait. Do you know how many surgeries your doctor is doing before you?

No...I have no idea. I'm a squeeze in as I was scheduled feb 4, got an upper respiratory infection and had to reschedule..and I chose another surgeon in the group, actually he's the founder if the practice.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
