so i m now in day two of liver shrinkage. I'm also wondering how much the rest of me will shrink too. I honestly thought i felt my soul tighten up a bit with the first sip of Protein shake.

So here i am anyway. i am on the west coast of Ireland and my surgery date while not necessarily September is on the 1st of October. 5 Days after my 33rd birthday.

I am excited right now as it is getting close to mid morning snack time and there is a nectarine on my desk that i'm shortly gonna eat like it's a gift from the fruit goddesses themselves suffice to say it won't be pretty.

In other exciting news i managed yesterday fairly easily and I've found that thinking about Protein shakes seriously reduces my hunger (go fig). I'm using Solgar "whey to Go" (i hate puns) is this the bariatric gold standard? The only advice i have is keep drinking that Water folks. Literally felt a headache rinse away earlier.

Anyway i'm rambling. Hope you've enjoyed my first post. I'd love to hear from anybody gearing up for surgery in this sort of time frame. I could def do with a buddy or two.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

@@Desmond Longbottom I'm on day 4 of liver shrinkage and can totally relate. I'm allowed 1 shake & 2 clean meals a day. Next Monday, I start my 3 shakes a day & clear liquids. (Thats when the sh*t gets real) No solid food! I'm worried! Scheduled for 9/21

Day three of liver shrinking and can actually say I'm not really hungry. I could eat a lot right now but I think that's because I know I haven't eaten. I am now so dispondant about food.< /p>

      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.

      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.
