Last night I invited my sisters and their husbands out for what I called my last supper. My 2 week pre-op begins today... And all day yesterday I had the feeling that I was going away somewhere like an extended trip or moving out of town, it was the strangest thing. I woke up this morning with stomach in knots but totally purpose driven. I can't believe after all this time I'm 2 weeks out.

I'm hoping that's the case, that it gets easier over time ... What sucks major is that we're having Valentine's Day parties tomorrow (I teach) and I've been begging my kids not to bring me anything ... But I know chocolate will surround me haha

I vividly remember the last day before starting my rigorous 1 month pre-surgery liver shrinking weight loss program. For lunch I went to Cici's pizza chowing down on the "all you can eat buffet, and for supper I showed up at Furr's Cafeteria and had their all you can eat buffet. I had a chicken fried steak, pan fries, coconut pie, jalapeno cornbread, mashed potatoes, and a diet coke :) . I went out with a bang. Now, 6 months later, most of that type of food doesn't even interest me. I don't miss it, but I'm glad I got it out of my system. I haven't had a carbonated drink since then either

Where did you go? Brazilian steakhouse for me. Good luck with pre-op. The liquids really help control cravings so even if you weren't asked to do liquid, give it a shot!

This weekend I will have my last supper before pre surgery diet. I am not sure what I will have but I will cheat a little I am sure. It will probably have bread and gravy as part of it.

I think all of us got that feeling (: it is quite an adjustment and a trial and error process but I promise, it will all be worth it!

Did you have your surgery yet?

Last night I invited my sisters and their husbands out for what I called my last supper. My 2 week pre-op begins today... And all day yesterday I had the feeling that I was going away somewhere like an extended trip or moving out of town, it was the strangest thing. I woke up this morning with stomach in knots but totally purpose driven. I can't believe after all this time I'm 2 weeks out.

Congratulations!!!

I went to Outback Steakhouse (I'm a fiend for their chicken pasta), added a little steak, some wings, a few drinks... It was awesome. My first day I decided to do all liquids and so far so good

      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.

      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.
