New Gal here!

Hi everyone. I am new here. Saw the surgeon today. I got my surgery date for February 16. I have been preparing for this for months....and....now I am nervous. Praying surgery goes smoothly, I am anxious from the urinary catheter to the pain. I have a good pain tolerance but I don't know why I am nervous. I am doing this because I will be 46 yrs old this month, and I want to live a good life. I want to be here for my children and eventually grandchildren. This "does" work for everyone...right? Is it hard to do the liquid diet for so long? Is there a lot of nausea? I just want some input on what to expect. Thank you for your time ♡♡

Everyone is different. I didn't have a catheter. My surgery was easy. No pain, no gas, no nausea, no vomiting, no dizziness, no Constipation no problems at all. I was walking in recovery. Tolerated fluids in the hospital and have not had any problems post-op.

Depending on your surgeons procedure you may not even feel the cath, they put mine in once I was knocked out and took it back out while I was still under, the sleeve works for "most" everyone if you put the work in. I think everyone loses weight initially but you have to be willing to put in some work to keep it going. liquid diet was not hard for me I just stayed extremely focused. I only had nausea when I stood up the First two day and then it went away, everyone is different so I can't say how your exact outcome will be but try not to stress!

Good luck on your journey and congrats on getting your date! It's an amazing experience! Yes, the liquid diet was tough for me. I was basically going through sugar, carb, and caffeine withdraw all at once. But, it's SO worth it.
