Hello, my surgery is this Friday, May 6th. I have been scared and nervous but not real excited yet. I do feel I have more energy after a week on the liver diet but it has been hard. I did cheat 2 times. Once I ate 2 boiled eggs and another I ate roast beef off of an Arby's sandwich. I have done great with Water. Trying to finish strong!! I got this.

I had the surgery about a year and a half now. I was very excited because I wanted and needed to have the surgery for medical reasons and I wanted to live a more healthier life. The day of my surgery I was all perky and ready, I prayed to God and surrendered it all to him. My husband was more nervous than I was. When my Pastor and First Lady came they said you are all smiles. I went in at 294 and I am currently at 174. I still have about 20 more lbs to go so back to a liquid diet and exercise. I went from a size 26 to 16. It is my goal to get to a 12-14. I say get excited it is a milestone to lose the weight. You will feel better and look better. At times when I walk I feel really light on my feet. The greatest reward from this is that I am no longer on all that medication anymore.

Hi CSouth. Good luck tomorrow. I'm scheduled for 5/10 and feel just like you do. Nervous/not real excited. I've also gone back and forth on the idea but as one of my greatest mentors once told me, " if you have a good reason, you've done your research, analyzed the situation and made an educated decision, stick to it." That's what I'm doing especially bcs I already paid in cash. Chin up. Spirits high and keep us posted. Best of luck.

Well surgery is over and everything went well. I am still a little sore but it gets better each day. The tough part is getting my fluids in. Thanks to all for your support!

I'm with you. I got sleeved on May 10th. I'm progressing well and didn't experience much pain but I'm also finding it difficult to get the Water and liquids in. The shakes take up all the space. I can't wait to get to the soft foods so I can make purées with different ingredients. At least I'll feel like I'm eating something.

Glucerna was on my list of shakes from my dr. I can't drink them though.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
