I wish you the best! You can do this, you own this, food will no longer control us hun, we are doing this to control the food and it will be so worth it. I myself is dreading May 14th, the day I start my liquid diet as well, I'm going to take it as a challenge with food just like I did with cigarettes when I quit letting them control me and I'm smoke free 6 years now. Whenever you want to put something in your mouth drink a glass of Water or brush your teeth if you can :)

I feel the same way! I can't imagine being below 200 pounds. That's just nuts to think about! But I'm starting to actually believe that it's going to happen :) When do you start the liquid diet?

not sure yet I'm on meds now for Hpylori it's a bacteria in the tummy so not sure yet, I'm scheduled for May 12th for surgery but that's if my approval come in should be in soon Tuesday would be two weeks...can't wait to hear ive been approved.

What was the hardest part of your journey? I'm worried about head hunger hunger and not being able to keep the weight off.

I'm extremely worried about the head hunger as well... I'm on Day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet, and not being able to eat has been extremely difficult.

Oh no- I'm sorry to hear that! Does it have anything to do with the diet, or is it a non-related issue?? Please let me know when you get your approval!!

I was approved on April 4, and I got my date on April 7. Only 10 more days until May 7! I keep watching these videos of the surgery online. Is that weird?? Lol

Don't worry, you will do fine hun, I felt the same way when I was waiting for my answer too, I think we all feel nervous waiting for the answer, when I asked the nurse, she said not to worry, they very rarely turn anyone down ;)

My date is May 12th, been on the preop diet for two weeks now. I put the scale away, it was driving me crazy. Saw the doctor yesterday, she was happy with my weight loss. She also told me that I will be out of work for at least four weeks because of the type of job i have, so i applied for short term disability. All is good. Actually i feel pretty good today.

      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.
