If you have an iphone, it's called "Countdown" real creative, huh? Haha

How's everybody doing today? I think my emotions are really hitting me. I cried over the thought of a couple shirts I have that are too tight being loose in a few months. Crazy Lol

I'm doing great so far but I am use to drinking my Breakfast already. It's lunch and dinner time that may be difficult.

I have had a Protein shake for Breakfast, some watermelon Water, and 1/4 of an organic raw kombucha drink so far.

Did your surgeons say that you had to watch your carb intake during your liquid fast pre-surgery.

I'm logging my liquids on MFP and EVERYTHING has carbs in it.

No...My nutritionist wrote out my meal plan I have 2 shakes a day Beef broth for lunch, 2 Snacks greek yogurt 80 calories, and at night a sugar free popsicle. And as much Water as I'd lke.

We have pretty much had the same thing so far but I opted for chicken broth today.

My husband is kinda fasting with me.. So that makes it easier.

Today has been easier than I expected (so far). I think it's because I have been on the go since early this morning.

I have not thought about food.... Unlike yesterday when that's all I thought about. Lol

I need to get some exercise but I usually end up "thinking about it" but not actually doing it.

Hello all! I'm scheduled for RNY on the 8th. I'm mostly excited, but a whole lot nervous too. My Dr doesn't have me in a liquid diet, just high protein/low carb. Interesting how different the programs are. My dr is at a base hospital tho, maybe that's part of it.

Hi Heather_marie

I'm excited too.... My Wednesday is half way over already. Time has been flying by.

I have instructions for a liquid diet but I was told that I really just have to watch the carbs, sodium and sugar as well.

I am mostly on liquids but I have had chicken once, veggies and fruit.

Monday can't get here soon enough.

      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.
