My surgery is in 2 days and tomorrow is Clear liquids only. Tonight I am making dinner for myself and family and it is so weird. I keep wondering how strange it will be after this when either for a couple months I will not be able to have anything they are having or even after just a few bites of what they are having. I wonder if my cooking will suffer because I can not taste as much. I wonder if I will forget to feed kids because I am concentrating on Protein, mushy stuff, Water intake and not hungry.

But tonight is dinner as usual as we all sit down at the table as a family like we do every other night. Tonight I will be having 3 ounces of mediterranean spice turkey tenderloins, 1 cup of roasted herb parmesan acorn squash and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and apple cider glazed brussel sprouts. Tonight dinner will be yummy.

Tonight I am sticking with the plan and having what I am allowed to have.

Tommorow is the start of a new adventure, a new way of living and eating and a new me.

Blerg....tonight I burnt the brussel sprouts because I was writing this.

I was just worried about remembering to cook and shop is all. I am not worried about when on solids. Just all the liquid and mushy stuff. It does not appear to be a problem though.

I have been home 3 full days.

I am boiling a chicken to make a pot of chicken Soup for dinner tonight. So I can have some too. broth only of course.

They had sandwiches and an apple for lunch and I was able to make Breakfast this morning so they had eggs with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, turkey bacon and some homemade salsa.

Happy kids and hubby.

        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
