So, tomorrow is the big day. No liquid diet for me. I can eat regular all day today. Nothing after midnight. Although I will be saying farewell to regular food for a while, I had no desire to pig out today. I had some pancakes for Breakfast (thanks to the hubby) . . . I had some greek yogurt and I'll be doing some turkey chili tonight for dinner.

The heart is racing . . .but I don't think its nervousness. (thanks to you all! :) ) I think I'm getting excited.

Losing this weight will prayerfully grant me some sort of normalcy after battling cancer for so long.

I look forward to wearing dresses, shorts in the summertime and working out for more than 10 mins.

I also look forward to getting out of bed. Depression had me trapped in my room for most of the year.

I'm just so excited. I literally feel tears coming to my eyes.

I'm so excited for you and will be praying and thinking of you tomorrow☺ I too am excited for all the same things. I too was depressed and my bed was my best friend after I miscarried. I will have my surgery on Jan 27. I am here if you ever need to talk. Big Hugs to you. You got this!

Ok . .So, I've been up since 3AM.

I prepared my hubby some Breakfast in bed. And I wasn't tempted to take a single bite.

I pre-prepared some lunch and dinner with a few Snacks in anticipation for a long day.

Showered. Bags packed. There's nothing left to do except go to the hospital.

OMG . . .I can't believe the day is finally here. My eyes are filling with tears (again) . . . .I just want to be normal again. Cancer free, energetic and healthy.

Wow.

Good luck to you. Think positive. Everything is going to be ok. You will initially have some pain but mostly from the gas. This will pass and will be nothing like you have previously endured. You got this!

Hello All:

Everything went well.

At some point I remember crying and yelling out loud, "why did I do this!!!" . . . but that 'freak out' didn't last long.

I was so heavily medicated . . most of my experience in the hospital is a big blur. I was admitted on Monday and I think I was discharged on Tuesday.

I had a little emotional setback today. I can't put my finger on why. I just felt really sad.

I'm hungry. Like, really hungry. I realize that the feeling of fullness won't really occur until I start eating solids. I pray that once I start eating, I'll feel better.

My starting weight was 247. I am now 237.7.

I really appreciate this community.

      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
