I didn't have any medication prescribed at discharge. I was told to take gasx strips if needed. I did use them on day 2 and 3.

@onthewrighttrack @@Idonerds I had to do a 2 week preop all liquids...it sucks. I cheated at least three days of out 14 and still managed to lose 10lbs before surgery. I'm surprised they didn't tell you that u can have chicken broth etc.

I can have sugar free Jello, ice pops(30 calories a day of those), broth, and 2cups of vegetables a day.

Oh that it all I had so far today on my clear liquid diet. My friend is making the chicken broth. I'm having the broth my son is having tacos. I went on my own diet a week before. I lost about seven pounds. Don't know for sure because my scale is broken. It says I weigh 150.2...lol. Anyways I just needed to make sure my weight was around the same when I visited the surgeon in early October. I'm sure I made 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.
