My surgery is 25 Aug. I feel nervous and exciting.

I do not know what to expect at hospital I am looking forward to surgery but not all the BS that goes with it.

I guess i do not like hospitals or surgery just want it over.

My surgery is the 25 of august also, this is my second date as the first one July 14 someone between the Drs and health ins dropped the ball.

I just finished up day 2 of my liquid diet, I must say this time ( did 12 days of it before) is the hardest. I am so afraid that something will come up and I will have yet another set back.

It is the beginning of 2nd full day at home. I am napping often - trying to catch up on lost sleep but it sure feels great to be home. My mom came over yesterday and fixed my some puréed food

Non blonde moment - hit send too soon. I am very sore and very bruised. Going to hit Walmart today to get some walking in - too hot to walk outside. I know this surgery will help me reach my goals but I am the key to making it work. I am sure each day will get better. You are in my thoughts and prayers for those getting ready for surgery and continued healing and success for those who are post op.

Take a step back, is it gas pain or real pain from the surgery?

Is it better today? Try heating pad on your back and shoulder if it's pain from the gas. Keep walking. Follow your docs instructions and if it's bad call the ofc!

My surgery is August 25. I started my two week shakes this past Monday and threw it up violently. I was on it 3 days before my nut took me off. I am having to to south beach now.

What is everyone's opinion on 2-3 days before surgery if I try the shakes again throwing up or not?

I just don't want them to not do the surgery because my liver is too big.

Should I try again even if I continue to throw it up? That way I can shrink it?

I am one week post op. I am feeling pretty good but still have pain. I have a bruise the size a pancake on my left side. Not sure what it is from but it is there. I start meds for my gallbladder to prevent gallstones. Please do not think you will get any rest in the hospital - I got zero sleep. I begged to go home so I could at least get sleep. Just keep focused on why you are going through the procedure. Aren't moms the greatest - my mom came and purée food for me too. I know this sounds funny but I feel like I don't have a stomach. It does not feel empty nor does it feel full. I am trying to follow the guideline I was given on when I should do what. It is just weird.

Good luck to all those soon having surgery - you will do great.

        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
