I'm so crabby! I feel light headed and I can't concentrate. I don't know how I'm going to make it through this week at work.

Tell me it gets better! Please!

The day got better. For dinner I made chicken broth with real garlic and Italian spice. I can't believe how good it tasted.

My husband is eating his dinner. I just couldn't stand to watch it.

When is your surgery? Mine is 4/3, and I think I will need to start my preop diet on Thursday. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for you since I'm not on the pre op diet yet, but I will just wish you the best of luck. I'll be in the same boat soon. Hang in there.

Thanks! I'm March 28th. He is going to have to brush his teeth after eating before he kisses me. This is ridiculous!

Good luck to you!

I am doing so much better! It's easier than I thought actually. The first few days it seemed like I was hungry all the time.

Today I had a shake two hours ago and I'm just not hungry. I've lost five pounds since Monday woo HOO!

I'm hoping to get under 300 by surgery date.

I got my period today so I bet I've lost even more fat and I'm just bloated.

Of course I would have to get my period while on liquid. I want to eat something normal so bad I feel like crying.

Loveit at least u visitor was pre-op I am expected to have her visit me around the day of my surgery. I cramp so bad during I'm questioning if I want to request meds to skip my cycle that month. Cringing at the thought of pain from surgery PLUS unbearable cramps....ughhhh

      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.
