I just scheduled surgery this morning for June 24th. I've been through all the hoops now I have to do a pre-op class and then surgery. I'm excited and scared. Most importantly, I'm super motivated. Until now I was sort of blah about it but now I know it's going to happen, I'm going to set a goal for presurgery weight and go for it.

I only have to do one week pre-op. I was feeling lucky until I realized all the things that are going on that week. We have a graduation party for my son, a Relay for Life event and another family gathering. I can already tell it's going to be tough. I'm just going to travel with my cooler full of liquid and try to make the best of it.

I am also scheduled for the 24th. Found this site last night and already feel calmer. See Dr. on Mon for final appt before surgery. I saw nutritionist yesterday and was told to start liguid diet 7 days before.

I started to purge my kitchen yesterday to get rid of all my bad choices. Knowing I only have a certain amount of time before I begin I have been eating all my favorite foods with no discrimination. Not Good.

So glad to have this site so we can all help each other. I tried the Vitamins and a shake yesterday not to bad. Wanted to see what they would taste like.

GOOD LUCK AN BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE ON THIS JOURNEY!

I'm right there with you on the nervous part. I'm now convinced that I am going to be constantly nauseous, bald and still fat. I think I need to stop Googling.

Good morning everyone! I am also scheduled for June 24th. I am on day 3 of the liquid diet and I think I found my stride! I like the shakes (designer whey) and have to continue for the next two weeks. I am nervous and excited.

        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
