Can't believe I am less than a week away from surgery! I'm so excited and so nervous. I'm down 30 lbs and am still losing. Its so crazy that I started this Journey 9 months ago and felt as it was going to be FOREVER before my surgery and it is finally almost HERE! It's so surreal.

I am super excited. The only thing I am nervous about is failing or not losing enough weight in the long run. I've been in the pre-op diet since May 12th. It's been really hard, not bad when I'm home, but when I go to work there is temptation everywhere. Congrats to you too! Let me know how things go!

Wow! Since may the 12th? That's a long diet? I've been dieting since January however the liquid diet is something else. The diet is ok at work, around 2:00 it gets rough that's when I crave a snack. I really miss my Snacks and crunchy things. Are you drinking Protein Shakes as well?

Had to be on the liquid diet for 28 days. It's been awful. I'm only allowed 5-6 dehydrated meals a day. They are like Medifast. Very high Protein, very low carbs and sugars. About 500 calories a day. I have things like chili, eggs, pancakes, pudding etc. I miss salty and savory things the most because all the "savory things" I can eat are just awful that I'd rather not even eat.

How's it going today?? My diet has been ok today, I am thinking of drinking some Protein shakes tomorrow. I've been drinking nothing but broth, I am ready for something different. How are you feeling today?

My surgery is the 9th as well.

I'm on 2 Protein shakes and 1 small meal of lean Protein and veggies. I am thinking of skipping the meal tonight though and just doing another shake because my final preop appt is tomorrow and I'll be weighed again :unsure: .

Looking forward to getting my surgery time though tomorrow. I really hope it's early because I don't want to sit around all day worrying and not being able to drink anything.

        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
