Day 2 of the pre-op diet was not great, but I made it through. 12 days to go.

Thank you. I was encouraged to step on the scale and see I'm 6 lbs lighter than I was Sunday night!! Of course Sunday night I had just eaten my last meal. Lol

I had my surgery yesterday. It went good. I'm really sore and not to much gas. Good luck everyone! I lost 10 lbs on my preoperative diet.

Went to GNC today to start my stash! They let me taste the GNC banana cream shake, it tastes GREAT!! They also have a special buy one get one half off. I bought the vanilla and banana cream. I'll prob blend a vanilla (it was kinda sweet) and a Greek yougurt for a high Protein smoothie..(when I'm at that stage) . The shakes have 25grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar and 3 grams of Fiber, 6 carbs and 170 cal. Just thought I'd share. I know everyone is always looking for protein options that are tasty.

      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
