@@mduffield Oh try propel or something with a lil dash of crystal light. It will help you kick start the Water and to be honest I gave up EVERYTHING else for two weeks except for Water so that my body in a sense would crave it and believe it or not it really helped. So now I have a nightly cup of tea and maybe a morning coffee otherwise just water.! You'll do great no worries.

Wednesday I have my endoscope!!! I just started a new job in September, was worried about taking time off for surgery. I just told my boss today that I'm having stomach issues. And will be required to have surgery in January. He was very supportive and I feel much better now that I've told him.

All my blood work has been done. Last weigh in was a breeze. Now just waiting on results and submission to insurance. January 5th is coming and I'm so excited. Praying everything comes back ok. I might... no I'm definitely going to cry once approval happens. Thank you to everyone that is going through this journey and sharing their story. It really helps to have support.

Got passport approval today and it's being overnighted back to me. I sent all the info in on Friday, so that's pretty quick turnaround but super expensive. I suppose that's what I get for not getting my passport years ago. I've been on the phase 1 Atkins no sugar, no carbs and I'm down 5lbs, 4 pounds to go before the 6th. The weightloss is mainly because my mind loves carbs. My body is like what?! Protein? !! Sweet. My mind and I aren't friends right now. Haha.

5wks til surgery and I just cant wait. Completely focused right now on losing weight and I feel great about it. I just started walking again and make sure I get in at least 3 miles a day to stay on track. I went and got a first goal weight outfit and hoping it actually fits before I even go to get my surgery cause I need that type of motivation to stay on track. I'm super grateful for all of you on here and hope we all check in so we can cheer each other on!

        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
