Surgery Date December 21st.............



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for surgery December 21st. I a have been on the pre-op diet for 7 days but I screwed up a wee bit yesterday. I didn't go nuts but I did get a taste but no sugar. I am scared but going to do it anyway. I just cannot stay like this any more. I want to look not the fattest person in the room.

I am on the pre diet for just and have lost 7 lbs. already. I am struggling, tho, to get the exercise in. I must do better. I found it really confusing to remember when to take my regular meds, when to take the Vitamins, etc . I made out timetable for each day in 2 hour incremebts and entered what I should be having in foods, liquids, meds, Vitamins, and it is helping me a lot stay on track.

Tomorrow is the day but I am nervous. I lost 9 lbs on the pre op diet and I did OK holding to what I was allowed to eat pretty much, but lousy at the liquids and at exercise.

I don't want to fail at this but I realize I must have more self discipline. Anyone else out there feeling the same as me?

Yes. Had a really hard time sticking to the liquid diet. For the most part I did. But self discipline is the key. I remind myself that I can control what I put in my mouth. When I do that I can walk away most times and not look back. Hope that helps.

Tomorrow (the 22nd) is my big day too! I'm super excited, but apparently more nervous than I'll admit to...I've been dropping everything I pick up today!

Looking forward to a new beginning and a healthier year next year. Let's all keep each other on track and Celebrate our successes together!

Good luck to all of us!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
