How is everyone preparing? Have you told your friends, family or coworkers. I have told very few people because I don't want anyone giving me added anxiety or reasons not to so it. The people I have told are supportive and that's enough for me.

You guys?

I agree. I have only told a few people. I have enough doubts and fears that I don't need anyone else adding to it!! Lol

I really am ready for a change!!

Tomorrow is a new day. Don't beat yourself up. If it makes you feel any better I am eating like I'm going to the electric chair!!! Many food funerals and I don't plan on stopping until my pre op liquid diet on 4/23.

Well, my surgery center called today and told me I could have my sleeve done April 29th or May 5th. I'm leaning towards the 5th. I'm just very concerned that my son's birthday is the 15th....only 10 days after and I have no idea how I'll be. :/

I had pizza tonight too! I've been very good with eating healthy the last 3 weeks and tonight I just needed a break. My date is May 6th also and I'll be starting my liquid diet April 22nd so I figure dinner tonight isn't all that bad in the grand scheme of things :) I hope the next few weeks go by faster than this week has though.

Hello,

I had my EGD Monday April 7th. It went well and they found a hiatal hernia so now my insurance is going to pay for a majority of my sleeve surgery. I am impatiently waiting for my surgery date. Fingers crossed for early May : )

The small amount of people I told are the ones I thought would support me however I only have this group and just a few people I've told, the rest I've told aren't happy I'm doing this, I guess they don't understand, oh well I'm happy for me and I have all of my bariatric family here which is plenty and enough for me! XOXO :D

        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
