I'm doing some "food funerals" now to begin preparing myself. I'm saying goodbye to foods that I really should not and probably won't be able to eat after surgery. :)

Yup, count me in on that one!

It's taken me a few weeks, but I have started to come to terms with what the future holds and I'm ready to get started with eating healthily even if the liquid diet is still a few weeks away. I think I needed to say goodbye.

I really didn't have a food funeral. My problem is Diet Coke. I stopped that the day before surgery. I just found 6 cans of soda I had forgotten about. They are still where I put them.

They are there for company, not me.

I will give you some advice. Before the pre-op started I said I'll have to hit all my favorite spots and have my farewells. Well that said and done I really wish I hadn't. It made me miserable the first week. When you make a sudden drop in calories going from 2,000+ and go to say 600-800. It really shocked my system. Day two I had the worst headache. Spent a good amount of time face down in the bathroom. Then from there felt very weak and like I had low blood sugar. I tested my levels and they weren't. If I could do it again I'd reign myself in and try to ween myself off progressively slower. Just a forewarning for all of you thinking of making it your last hurrah.

I didn't get that chance????I was called on the 10th and told my surgery could be the 26th if I wanted and of course I did????so I took my grandsons to McDonalds for my last supper lol and then started on low-carb, gave up soda and sweets????. I'm on my second day of full liquids and go to my pre-op visits on 23rd then surgery the 26th...I'm very excited for this new chapter in my life!! And I hope we all heal quickly and meet our goals!! Prayers for you all!!

      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.
