In spite of my best efforts to keep my mind occupied, I am scared shitless. Not about the surgery. I've read so much about it, honestly in a pinch I could probably do it myself. It is post op that has me terrified, because I have no idea what to expect. Toss in a pinch of mental illness (I am BiPolar) and this becomes even worse.

18 hours and 50 minutes to go. Now I just need to hold it together.

Praying for everyone else in my group. I pray after you all are done, there is little pain, and your path to good health is short and painless!

My surgery is scheduled for October 28th. Pre-op on the 13 th. Very nervous. I only have one day of liquid diet right before the surgery. I'm very nervous. Scared I'm going to mess it up done how and he'll, the surgeon, well take it away. Ugh. Ready but not ready.

@@winklie this is probably going to come out the wrong way but it is nice to know we are not alone in our fears.

@@Cali_Angel Welcome!

@@edie091371 the first two weeks I was fine. At my pre-op appointment my NUT asked have I had been constipated or had diarrhea I said no. The next day I was running to the bathroom. I go between being stopped up and then very loose.

It hit me about an hour ago... I literally can not stay too far from the bathroom. I am wondering if the sugar free products (i.e. Jello, crystal lite, diet v8splash and popsicles) could have anything to do with it.... this is soooo not fun!

@thinner-me. ..oh no, 1st graders and frequent bathroom breaks are not a good mix. I hope it subsides before you have to go to work!! Where are you located again?

        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
