I'm also on the 16th. Starting to get nervous, one minute I'm 100% committed, the next I am second guessing this decision. Anyone else wrestling with nerves?

I'm also the 16th and although nervous, the past few days I've just been really excited! Looking forward to buying clothes and all that type of stuff????. I imagine however, that the last couple of days leading up to surgery the real nervousness will kick in!

I am on the 15th as well. I am so worried I start my pre op diet on monday. I feel bad for whining or being nervous about 7 days when most have to do 2 weeks. I wish i was one of the people who only had to do the day or 2 prior. It is getting so real. I finally watched a you tube video of an entire sleeve surgery. It was amazing I suggest anyone who can stomach it to watch. It was Interesting to know what it entails from start to finish.

I have a very liberal prep diet. 4 shakes, two fruits, 1 lean meal, 2 Jello Snacks. It's super easy but I haven't lost any weight. (Only 1lb) I have another week to go. I feel like I should be losing something. Have I stalled even before the surgery? Ugh. I'm tempted to do all shakes for the 2nd week.

Bebop I'm also 16th on day 6 of my liquid diet things are going great down a total now of 17 pounds since my preop visit and 9 since preop diet on Tuesday. I have fibromyalgia so my pain led me to this decision. I really can't say as Heidi said I'm sure days prior I'll have nerves kick in but 100% sure I want this. I also look forward to new clothes

AJP I start my liquid diet on Mon. too. Also only 7 days for we. I think we can do it!!

Seems like everyone else has started liquids and all this week I had food funerals. Went to my favorite places and ate my favorite things. I didn't over indulge or do Desserts but I have enjoyed my meals. Might do Mexican tonight for my final "meal" for awhile. Not going to feel bad about either!

On to a new way of life tomorrow. Gotta get my shakes in a row. Of course my work planned their Christmas dinner tomorrow night. I am obligated to go. I guess I'll be having green Beans for dinner hope they don't mind if I take my Protein shake!

My surgery is on the 16th and I'm on day 6 of my pre-op diet. The shakes are getting a little easier to get down (lots of gagging in the beginning). It's still really tough having to cook for my family and not being able to eat though, but I'm hanging in there. My husband will be home from work Tuesday and he'll feed them before I get home from work, so hopefully the rest of the days will go without problems.

I forgot to weigh myself before I started the pre-op diet, but I can definitely see some loss in my face and my pants are fitting a little looser!!!

Good luck to everyone...we can do this!!!!

        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.

      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
