Hello! I just downloaded the app, so this is my first post as well. My surgery (RNY) date is the 27th too!! I'm on day six of the liquid diet, and every 15 minutes I question am I really doing the right thing? Ugh! Where are you having your surgery?

Lagrange GA.. I started the diet yesterday.. ugh and you have been on it how long?lol .. I am so glad my Dr didn't require for me to go longer. Who would ever thought cream of chicken would taste so good as a meal.. so ready to have this in the rear view mirror and on the losing side..

We should stay in touch, the three of us I live in Alaska but having the surgery in San Diego. I'm on day six of the liquid diet, I think yesterday was the toughest day. Not sure how old you guys are, but I'm 57 and vacillate back-and-forth on is this really the thing to do??? My insurance doesn't cover the surgery, so I'm a cash patient, and have already had to pay 50%, as well as two weeks of lodging in San Diego, so I guess I'm already approaching the deep end of the pool guess I better get up and stop worrying so much and just do it!!!!

Good Morning! 5:24 AM here in Chugiak Alaska, I woke up from a dream where I had accidentally eaten something.! I panicked and then realized it was just a dream. Grief! Day 7 of the liquid diet I haven't lost any weight in three days, seems weird to me. How are you guys doing with weight loss? I lost 35 pounds on the liver shrinking diet. Beginning wait 291, current weight 254. I started the liver shrinking diet January 4.

        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!

      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
