Yahoo. Now listen here you may encounter difficult days and times when you question why. Just stick with it and keep moving forward . You can do this and have many standing here to cheer you on. :)

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

I too am scheduled for surgery on December 15th. I go to my Pre-op class at 8am Monday & start my liquid diet tomorrow. I am so excited & scared all at the same time. I have the craziest thoughts running thru my head! I am diabetic & stay thirsty all the time...so I'm thinking the liquid diet won't be so bad, but I remember waking up from knee surgery & the first thing I wanted was a drink! I even had a dream last night that I was in a desert with a pool... & no one would let me have any water! I know I'm nuts...so I just have to get my head in the ballgame! :)

Dmaddox. We had the same Dr as you. Good luck.

You will be able to drink after surgery. Just tiny sips though. They don't monitor how much you are drinking though if you are doing it through denton presby, which I thought was... odd that they don't monitor anything you eat or drink before you go home.

Are you ok with morphine for pain relief? Because that's what he gives, or diladid.

DMADDOX1...I am 20 days post op. I will say after surgery my mouth was so so dry I was miserable. I couldn't even talk. I was on ice chips for about a day then upgraded to Water. I also am/was diabetic and loved water. So that was hard. I haven't had a sugar reading over 115 since I got home from the hospital!! (In the hospital I was given steroids which I guess raise your sugars.) It will be tough but you can do it! Good luck to all the Decembers!

        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
