Counting the minutes at this point! Did some shopping last night for those Thermacare heat pads in case I still have gas pain on the plane (flying to/from MX from the east coast) and a few other tidbits. I bought a front close, no wire bra but it's ridiculously uncomfortable (44DDD) so it's going back. I'll just be uncomfortable in my underwire bras, thanks.

How cool that there are so many of us on 7/1!! This pre-op diet has been kicking my butt. I will confess that the sweet everything was getting to me and I caved and ate a couple of dill pickles. Weird, I know, but I needed something NOT sweet. I probably should've just poured myself another cup of broth. Still, I'm down 8 pounds so far and TOM is approaching so I think I'm doing okay. :)

Good luck to everyone. Let's keep each other posted and support each other through recovery.

My surgery date is July 1st. My pre-op is the day before my surgery. I will admit I'm getting pretty anxious. Just this past Monday I found that I have Protein s deficiency. Thursday they placed an IVC filter. Talk about cutting it close. I am just taking it easy... Wishing someone would "invent" a new clear liquid. I am in north ga.

Hello. I am also scheduled for VSG on July 1st. I'm in the middle of pre op diet and wow is it a challenge. I'm finding it so incredibly hard....but only a few days left right. I am nervous but I thinking about food so much on this pre op diet that I think that has quelled some of my nervousness. Anyway. I'm glad to find this group of us. Looking forword to going through the journey with all of you.

Yesss the pre-op diet is hard!! I have experienced the growling stomach but also I have been snappy with my husband and today I have a headache that I am thinking is caffeine withdrawal. I try to keep looking to the future realizing it will get better but sometimes that doesn't help much and my surgery is not until the 8th so I have a bit to go. It is nice to have others to share with because as loving and supportive as my husband, mom and friends are they have no idea how much I am struggling at times. Hang in there!!

        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
