Karen44,

Hi. It is hard to follow one person on here, wished I knew how, so please share if you know. I would be happy to chat back and forth.

My surgery date is the 27th, seems like a life time away. I just received all my paperwork, pre-op, surgery instructions, post-op diet. So it is getting real.......

Where are you having your surgery, etc...... ? Just know we are doing what is right for us.....

im in San Antonio at the Methodist hospital. I know it seems like the time is dragging but it starts to move along once you are in the last month. I am at peace with my decision to move forward with this surgery because I have exhausted all other options. I start my pre op diet of 2protein shakes and one small meal a say on Monday 6/2. I can't wait to get on the other side of the surgery, where are you in Texas? It is hard to follow one person but I have responses going to my email so I can follow that way.

My surgery is June 4th.... Six days to go!!! I'm so scared and nervous. It's real, it's life changing (yes, I did know that). Just all coming together faster than I imagined. So many unknowns... Anyone else feeling like this?

Yes! My date is June 4th as well. Seems like most say they are excited but I am more in the scared category and wondering if I am making the right decision. Just cant stop worrying about nausea, complications, and trying to drink Protein Shakes. I am also very unprepared and have bought nothing much yet from the store for either myself or my family. Seems like May has been a very busy month around here with softball/baseball games, etc. Planning to do a bunch of shopping this weekend but have no clue what kind of Protein Shake to try next. I only tried Premium Protein chocolate ready made shake and I thought it was nasty. That was disappointing since it seemed to get pretty good reviews. Think I am going to try the Syntrax Nectar stuff next, My doctors office carries that one and they have sample packs for 1.75. Anyone else tried those? I am also thinking I should get something unflavored that I can try to mix in with broth, yogurt, etc.

My surgery is the 3rd and I'm getting really nervous also! I need to go buy things also I just have a 3 year old boy to feed so he's pretty easy to please but I keep wondering if I'm making the right decision also

Yes- mine is June 20th. Soooo excited! Yet, nervous too. What helps me with the fear though is the power of hope. I gave up after so many failures at losing weight. But I didn't realize how dead inside I felt from giving up. Sure, I know that my VSG won't solve all my problems. I have to work it. But the difference is - by analogy - the difference between having a boat to cross the river and trying to swim without one. Hope is a powerful thing!

This is my third day of the liquid diet. Mi am not hungry, it is the turning off of the brain that tells me I need to eat. Too bad they can't operate on the mind too.

[KrissySMD 38]

Hi all!

Sticking with your decision I guess really depends on how prepared you are and how well your doctor and team have prepared you. I am more than confident because my team is so awesome. This liquid diet is no fun, but hey, I've lost like 7 lbs since starting it! You'll do great. Stay confident and stay connected here. This is the best thing ever for support from all over the world!
