I had my surgery yesterday morning and I'm getting ready to go home. The pain isn't to bad, and I really don't have an appetite, but I'm making my self eat some of the broth and Jello.

My surgery was postponed until tomorrow. First there were 2 accidents and a train so I was late to the hospital by 30 minutes but the doc was running so behind, so they offered to let me be first tomorrow.

Hi there. After a six month journey to prepare, I'm scheduled for surgery on December 29th. I'll begin a 1200 calorie diet on 12/15 and a two day liquid diet on 12/27 (two days prior to surgery). How many years did weight loss top my resolution list? But this time will be different...my body will cooperate and I'll learn a new way of feeding and caring for it. I can't say I'm nervous, but I'm definitely excited. A new, healthy me in 2015. Sounds pretty wonderful.

My surgery is also December 29!!!!

My surgery is also December 29!!!!

I'm glad I have company. It looks like there are three of us for the 29th. I am so filled with emotions. It's like a roller coaster from one day to the next.

Well time is here!! I survived the two week liquid diet it wasn't as bad as I thought. Pretty scary as at times I was not that hungry. I think it's because my doctor allowed me to have vegetables and fruits. tomorrow is my surgery I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I have to pack and have things ready. I asked for many positive thoughts and prayers sent my way as I go into surgery tomorrow December 18th. Thank you so much for all your support hope to see you in the post op forum.

RYNDAR do you have a pre-op diet? I'm starting to get really excited. I can't believe it's in less than 2 weeks.

Mommy- yes, i've been on the preop diet since December 1. My surgeon will only allow me to have Protein Shakes four times a day. From what I gather, he's pretty strict with the rules. So far it hasn't been too bad. 12 days to go. Crazy fast!

        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
