I start freaking out a little when I realize it's only 25 more days till this journey really starts! 2 weeks Liquid Protein diet starts the 11th!

Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is in 13 days... I am also freaking out, had my pre op blood work and EKG today and have my surgery clearance spot with my internal med doc on Tuesday... Then pre op with surgeon on 9th. Time seems to be going fast... I am noticing I am having somewhat difficult time mentally on this liquid diet, it's sad how much food is has a hold of me... All the cravings are kicking in just because i can't have it at the moment and I know it's just my head... Trying to really pay attention to it and change my way of seeing food and and keep staying busy. I told someone today about my surgery and they asked me if I am excited... I feel like I can't get excited because I know it will be tough and since I am revision from lap band I am scared I won't lose my extra weight...

Wow....guess i needed to let things out here lol

I can certainly relate Username taken! I have surgery clearance with PCP on the 5th, pre op blood work on the 16th, Pre op with surgeon, nutrition and surgery nurse on the 17th. At this stage I really don't know what to feel. I did well with the no carbs phase, but the 2 week liquid Protein diet has me worried. I'll be praying for strength for you!!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same but going to keep positive

I'm taking arnica now as it will help us with bruising and swelling xx looking forward to my new journey xx

Sent from my D6603 using the BariatricPal App

Be careful taking arnica it thins blood and I don't know about you but I will be given blood thinners before and after surgery to minimize risk of blood cloths. I know I am supposed to stop taking any medicines that are anti inflammatory and blood thinning at least a week pre op. Just don't want you to lose more blood than you might.

Yes, Hope everyone that's had their surgery is doing well!

I'm getting nervous! Less than a week to go! My pre-op is almost too easy and I feel like it should be harder... however I start all liquids on Friday... only 3 days though.

Monday, May 16th... you'll be here before I know it! Ack!!!

      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.
