My surgery is Friday, 8/8, and I am definitely in the freaking out mode. I have half day at work left and then when I come home it is liquids only. Someone mentioned turning off the tv, and I have to say a big heck yeah to that!!!

You will do fine! I'm amazed that the pain is so minimal... Had gallbladder surgery was way worse!

I've been through the gallbladder surgery too. The surgeon attempted laparoscopically, but ended up opening me up. Thanks for post-op info..it helps calm fears (a little..lol).

Today was my big day. I am doing great! So grateful for such wonderful staff here at the hospital. They have been a huge help to me. My sweet husband was here all day and my daughter is spending the night with me. So thankful for this group and all of your support. Will lift you all up in prayer tonight. Praying that you too we have a good experience as well. I can't even express in words how incredible this experience has been so far! No hunger at all. Praise God!

Yay!! It looks like our little group is kicking butt at the bypass :D I'm so glad we are all healing so well and (knock on wood) have no major complications! We have to keep each other updated and continue to have an awesome recovery!!

Mini update from me: Walked a whole mile yesterday, got in 70 grams of Protein and 50 ounces of water!! It's going to be a balancing act for me on the amount of Water versus Protein but so far so big issues! I'm so stunned that I'm not at all nauseous and just have minimal pain in my tummy..maybe my surgeon got in there and forgot to actually do the surgery? LOL I know that isn't true though because I don't have any pain and I'm not at all hungry! (Plus, I got to watch it on the x-ray screen which was actually quite interesting!!)

Good morning Ladies!!! I am now on day three of the liquid diet and down 3 pounds already :) My surgery is on the 18th so I am on a long liquid schedule. I have been living off of sugar free bomb pops though :) Yummy! So much tastier than the regular sugar free popsicles. I do have to see my surgeon for a second pre-op visit to discuss getting my gallbladder removed with surgery and then my cardiac stress test Friday. I did find out surgery was approved in only 2 days from my insurance! So I am thrilled about that :)

OMG, I had those in the hospital and didn't know you could buy them at stores. I found them locally and my fiance is picking some up for me on the way home..yay!! They were the only thing I could tolerate in the hospital and do taste so so good! I'm now super excited :)

I know, they are only at a few grocery stores. I found mine at one nearby and bought three boxes of them :)

      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
