Hi there! Was just sitting here thinking of you and wondering how you're doing. I pray that everything is coming along alright. I can't hardly wait until Nov.19th to go to my very 'first' appointment:+) Hopefully i'll come out smiling! Keep us posted on your progress. I love this forum. Bye for now.

Sassy24, thank you for those kind words. All is well. Having a difficult time getting my fluids in. But I am realizing that it is getting a little better & easier each day. I can't stand the taste of the Protein Drinks. They are horrible to me. But I did like the Unjury chicken Soup. I'm just about finished with clear fluids & will switch to full in a couple of days. I'm hoping that I get my required Protein in during that stage. I will have more of a variety to choose from. Sometimes I feel like didn't prepare myself for this phase. I did buy what I need ed but I didn't taste it before hand.

Awwww, you'll be fine:+)...sometimes ya just can't think of 'everything' to do. I'm getting quite nervous awaiting my very first appointment. Hope I don't out of the range criteria for having this surgery cuz I REALLY need it. I have other things going on with me besides the weight. Right now I'm 210 and by the time I have to lose those required 10 pounds, that may put me out of bmi range. Will be praying that you continue progress nicely. I'll be checking in again.

Sassy24.... Things will be just fine. My 1st post op appt was yesterday & I was taken off of 1 blood pressure medicine, my diabetic medication was cut in half. I was so happy! I started this journey at 278, in currently 255.5. Most of my WL was during the liquid stage. During the 6 months I ate like it was the end of the world. Lol, but you will be fine. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

      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.
