How did work go. I agree your tough. No way I could do anything that soon. Try to rest some. Your body needs time to heal!

I'm so amazed you could work . I couldn't do anything for a week! Dont do too much. You had major surgery and your body really needs to heal for you to be successful. As I said before please rest and take care ofyourself!

On my 1 day clear liquid diet in preparation for the surgery tomorrow. Hospital just called to confirm. I'm so nervous and pensive and feeling like i'm on the precipice of something amazing!!

We're renting a recliner so I can sleep at night - cause if i sleep in my own bed my 3 year old will CERTAINLY jump on my stomach at night. And we just can't have it.

But seriously??? I'M. SO. HUNGRY. I. CAN'T. THINK. STRAIGHT. All this clear liquid is NOT cutting it. GOSH.

Hey everyone! My surgery is on Friday and I started my liquid diet yesterday. I also went and had all my blood work done..well they have this program where I can see all my blood work results..prob not a good thing because I'm a TERRIBLE worrier!! I saw that my white blood count was elevated a little outside of the normal range and I'm just hoping and praying this isn't going to turn out to exclude me from surgery or become a problem. Also, I feel like an emotional wreck today and that I'm on the verge of losing it!

Hi! Congrats on your surgery! I'm afraid I can't help with the white blood count. I'm sure your doctor would have told if it would be a problem though. If not I would just call them a check with the nurse just to a peace of mind. I feel you on the emotional wreck. It's been a roller coaster for me. I'm on day 12 of my pre op diet and let me tell you it has been so difficult trying to keep track of my emotions. I'm sure it's because my body is getting use to these changes so I'm becoming way more hormonal. My surgery is Thursday and I'm freaking out. Stay strong! It will all be worth it!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
