My advice is to get it together right now. You will have to realize that eventually you have to make right decisions to keep the weight loss happening as well as staying at goal. If you can't fix it now it will be ten times harder once the honeymoon phase is over.

Good luck.

if it helps any, my surgeon doesn't require me to do any special diet before hand so you should be okay. Also congrats!! It's going to be here sooner then you know.

You will be great..Some surgeons don't even require it...Mine never even mentioned it before nor after....Best Wishes....Day one make sure they have our meds right when you come from surgery...Not morphine,,,It does not take pain away and have the nausea meds on deck 2...You will need them for a few days

My surgery date is June 24th. June 9th is my preop appt. Lately I've been having a funeral with food. I even made an appointment with my attorney to make a will for my 4 year old son. Am I being morbid? Obsessing over youtube videos pre/post too. So looking forward to the journey so why am I feeling this angst?

      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.

      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.
