@60&goin4it..... I bought Cake Batter chap stick today!!!! It made me feel good to know I was going to be putting something sweet on my lips if not on my mouth!!! I also bought some non flavored nutrogena lip balm just in case I am taste and smell sensitive after surgery! I think i am going to ask for something for anxiety right before surgery!! I have not bought any smaller clothes...I have some things I had outgrown so my plan is to use those for a while.

October 5. I can't stop reading and watching YouTube. Makes me crazy!!

I'm Oct 5th also I have Facebook lesstolove Jenae and youtube channel lesstoloveawholenewnaenae think you find it by just typing in lesstolove

I think I have watched over 100 hrs of youtube videos of others journey iv been on my journey since March I was about 220-230 in Nov of 2014 and I'm only 5 feet short and I was at my highest weight that I actually weighed in might have been more but in my life I have had times that I didn't even want to see a scale it was like the devil lol now I weigh my self too much lol I got down to 183lbs at my last visit to the surgeon right now I am between 183-188lbs keep going up and down. I am not scared at all just alot of things I was not really thinking about are now on my mind and I'm just asking my self have I prepared enough is my mind ready I feel like I'm so ready but my nerves are getting to me as time goes on and I don't tell my fiance because he really would rather me go in for surgery he is supportive but it's major surgery so he just worries. So of course I don't want to tell him my fears or worries lol.. I'm just excited for the future

My surgery is scheduled for 10/8 in Houston… Love reading all your comments, so great to read I am not alone in my fears AND excitement!

@edie091371… I feel like you are taking all the words out of my mouth, lol… so much of what you say is in sync with my own emotions over this major event in my life… It is so comforting to hear :) It also must be because you are a Texas girl, as well!! Where in Houston will you have your surgery?

Irishaggie.. I am having my surgery at Herman Memorial Southeast on Beamer and Astoria with Dr. Ken Hollis October 8th! Thank you so much for the comments. I bounce back in forth in my feelings. I know for the most part I am so excited but I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared too. The needles are my greatest fear but I hate to feel bad so worried about how I am going to feel for the days immediately following surgery. But then I get a grip and remind myself how bad this weight has been making me feel for years!! Girl, our whole lives are about to change!!! I tease the girls at work that I am so full of myself now, Lord help them when I am skinny!! I am 16 days and counting! 13 for you! If you need anything just hollar. I think i am going to get a pedi and a massage the day before mine. If you live anywhere near Pearland, call our Spa, Luxe Salon and Spa, and I will personally give you a Pedicure at a great discount to help relax you!! Where is your surgery going to be at? You can also add me on Facebook if you would like. Edie Smith Steer (edie091371@yahoo.com ).

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
