Surgery tomorrow & the most amazing scents are happening downstairs!



Recommended Posts

Oh my! Anyone else struggling/starving on this lovely Easter Day? Everyone is downstairs feasting & I'm hiding upstairs pretending to have a headache cause the family doesn't know about surgery tomorrow. So my question is...with just the right amount of butter could mashed potatoes be considered a liquid? ?? (J/k, kinda)

Totally. We went to Red Lobster and I ordered gumbo so I could eat the broth only. No cheddar bay biscuits.

Everyone was asking if I wasn't hungry.

And of course you replied no, I'm not hungry ;). I guess I should be happy that I have another room to hide in as I could not stay away from cheddar bay biscuits!

I am also having my surgery tomorrow and have been on the liquids for two days. I basically have stayed away from everyone (they deserve to live) and been in my room waiting. I detest chicken broth and really have not found much else that is clear except Water, weak green tea and white grape juice. I finally took something to sleep about 10 minutes ago and counting down until I can fall asleep. Alarm set, bag packed and I am ready to roll in the morning at 5 am. I just want the hunger pains to stop.

The subject of who to tell!!! I feel like I don't want to tell people cause I don't want to have to talk them into why this is a good option for me. I don't want criticism. It's like when I finally picked a name for my kids before they were born. I put a lot of thought into their name. Someone would ask what are u gonna name baby if it's a girl. I would tell them. And they would wrinkle up nose and say ohhh I don't know if I like it. Really at this point keep your comments to yourself!

Anyway sorry- guess I just needed to say that! Ha

Good luck to all your amazing people who are scheduled tomorrow. Please let us know how u are doing! I will be checking up on u all.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
