I think they call the first week the week of regret.

Just had all my pre-op visits, showing 15 lbs. weight loss already (on the liver-shrinking diet) and am as nervous as hell...

But ready to rock it. Let's go sleevers!!!

It's the 6th. I'm trying to stay really, really busy to keep my mind off of it. I've never been in a hospital - and have rarely visited. So all of my anxiety is about something unknown to me.

What thing are you looking forward to after you lose the weight? One of mine is shopping and not having to be limited to just the XXL size and that size has a very limited number in stock. Searching the shelves for the biggest size or looking for just the longest belts is what I want to leave in the past. What about you guys? ;)

I have been pretty physical most of my life but still overweight. I use to run races yet my knees were not cooperating. I am hoping that getting this weight off will help my knees and I will be able to run again.

Oh yes running is what I am looking forward to also. I use to run a lot I'm my past and now I really miss it. It can boost your energy levels and after I like the satisfying feeling. I have been running/walking as of late and it has helped in my pre op weight loss. I plan on hiking the Superior Trail in northern Minnesota next summer and that will take about three weeks. I am trying to keep all these thoughts in my mind as I go through the next month. I would like to run a 5K with all you someday. You never know. :rolleyes:

I got my appt: 7:30 am, the first surgery of the day. My whole team was excited for me - they said the probably means I can get out of the hospital after a single night stay. Yay!

Looking forward to? Running on the soccer field with my boys. Long bicycle rides (my wife and I have planned on an 80-mile ride for our 25th anniversary, which will be about 1 yr. after surgery). Clothes at a normal store instead of Casual Male XL. Sitting at a booth without squishing against the table. Knees and ankles not hurting.

Lots of hopes here!!!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
