I feel like today is the first day of the rest of my new life! That great feeling overshadows anything negative about all liquids (so far. :) )

I took all my measurements last night and took time to gather all my necessities for work this week so I feel I'm prepared. Surgery is March 10th, barring any insurance issues. Good luck to all! Who else is a March 10 buddy?

Congratulations! I'm on day 6 of pre-op and doing so much better than day 1. I'm having my surgery 3/5 so I'm pretty close to you. It sounds like you have a great attitude...I'm sad to say I was super cranky on day 1! :)

I may be cranky after while when my family is chowing down on spaghetti. I purposefully chose things for supper this week that aren't my favorites, lol! Good luck to you on the 5th!!!

I'm March 10 too...and on lovely day one of liquids. I'm pretty excited, but almost more scared of these two weeks than the actual surgery. This weekend, I could not stop stuffing food in my mouth. I felt so bad about it, but just couldn't stop. I'm going to give the two week liquids my all, though...to give myself the best chance of a safe surgery. It's just barely lunchtime on the first day, though, and I already have a headache and feel weak. Yikes! Tomorrow will be better, right? Ok, one day at a time. :)

I didn't know my surgery date until after dinner last night! I got an email from my surgeon saying they could schedule me on March 10th if i can start liquid diet today! Well, of course i am ready to get this process going, so I told them definitely, I am ready....I am also away for a work related trip, so I am at a conference today that had Breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack all provided...I am sipping my Water and Protein shake....

      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
