It was ok. Alf cup of dressing (if that much) & a nice slice of white turkey breast, chewed and ate very slow and savored it! I agree, worst day so far, but was so worth it. Hope I keep the sinus congestion away and tick on until 7 am MONDAY!!!!!

I enjoyed a chocolate mint shake in the morning, drank a cup of chicken bullion while the family ate turkey, and had no problem sticking to my liquid diet. I will be really glad when I get to eat again! I hope y'all had a merry Christmas!

Getting a cold! Coughing, little sinus drainage and slight sore throat. Praying it goes away and doesn't affect my surgery! I have tried to stay away from everyone so I wouldn't catch anything, .... just my luck!!!!! Send up some prayers!

. I am having some of the same issues! Not sure what to do! Can we take any meds? Are u gonna call the doc? Ugh. I don't want this to affect my surgery!

My Dr office closed at noon Christmas Eve and won't be open again until Mon. (but not before I have to be at hospital). Just trying the zinc losenges (NASTY) and Vitamin C drops and stay hydrated. I don't think my Dr will allow anything but Tylenol and that's not going to help!

I feel better today than yesterday for sure. It's mostly when I 1st wake up I trying to clear the drainage. My Dr is almost 3 hrs away so we are leaving Sunday and going to spend the night in a hotel. I think I am going to prop up to sleep that night and then before going to the hospital, get a nice hot shower and use one of those effervescent shower things. Used one this morning and it was HEAVEN!

Scheduled 12/29/14...I was given my surgery date on 12/19/14 and now on a 1000 calorie diet. I was told to do this in order to shrink the liver. I'm not sure if I've done well or not. For Christmas dinner, I ate a little more than I probably should, but I'll do all liquids for the next few days. I've heard stories of the surgent going in and the liver being too big to operate, so either the patients was closed up and sent back home to lose more weight, or the surgent did a complete open procedure. I dont watn either...I'll weigh myself tomorrow.

I'm a little nervous about all of it..more so going under... <_< :unsure:

But I'm excited..

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
