My doctor told me I didnt need to but I think I will starting Monday as I have gained about 5 pounds since I went to the doctors last. I am so excited! I started this process in September of last yr. I planned on working right up til the day before, but now I am thinking getting my nails done and a pedicure sounds much better and may take the afternoon off so I can do that and be home with my hubby and kids that evening and spend it with them :) If you have Facebook you can add me stacy huff bobian

Sorry, I just saw this!

I'm not going to sugar coat. Surgery was rough. I was nauseous and in a lot of pain. These past weeks have been rough and I don't get my Protein in. I've got the Water down, but I still experience a lot of nausea for no apparent reason. I actually had to call my doctor today because I've been nauseous since I woke up and have only been able to choke down about 15g of Protein today. He said to wait it out, drink as much Water as I can, go to the ER if there is pain and call in the morning.

WLS is not an easy thing. For me, it's been very difficult and emotionally trying. Still, I don't regret my decision. My doctor says I will have days like this, where I just feel awful. I know it will get better and I just have to keep on keepin' on.

        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
