Hi

My surgery date is the 15/09. I am still extremely nervous and seem to be getting more so as the days close in.

I am on Day 3 of the Pre Op diet and am wondering if I am going to make it LOL... I am not hungry just craving.

I hope everything goes really well for you and would love to come check in on everyones progress as I am on my own.

Good Luck :)

teesaa, amber, jusarte, princi, noforthefaint.........hope I am not forgetting someone.

I am exactly one week out...........I have my surgical call today where they will tell me the time to checkin.

I am so nervous today. Hard to concentrate.

Noforthefaint, I know this site has a FB page. Did you tell us the FB you started? If you did I missed it, could you let us know again or send me a PM.

Thanks everyone.

Prayers and good thoughts are with our pals that are having surgery today.

Keep smiling.

Surgery 9/14, Clear Liquids started 9/7. Down 17.5 lbs. feel okay, but tired. Started full fluids this week, gives more variety, eating yogurt, etc.

tried a Syntrax Protein powder today, "crystal Sky" was very good.

Get full fast. Was hungry last week, not so much this week. First post op doctor visit tomorrow.

No regrets!

Surgery 9/14, post op appt yesterday and 17 lbs lost. Started soft foods, tuna and boiled eggs, refried Beans, etc. with no issues. Only problem is I'm very weak, showering is rough and I have to rest after. Supposed to go back to work on Monday and a bit worried that I won't have my strength back. Getting Protein, taking Vitamins, etc., doc said probably because of drop in BP. Off BP meds as of Monday.

        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
