So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

Good Morning Onmica, I am also having my sleeve on 5/24. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I start my pre op diet tomorrow, which is also creepy because the surgery date is getting closer and closer. I am happy to get surgery, but nervous about saying goodbye to the foods I enjoy the most. Today I will have my farewell meal and then I will be on my journey to finally losing this weight! Good luck to you!

Oh wow.. I had my farewell meal 2 days ago. And yesterday lol.. Today, I finally got it together. I was in a 12 week class where I was weighed in every week. From my highest weight, I've lost 22 pounds.. And since I had my consultation this passed Friday, I've been going wild. I cheated 3 whole days because I'm going to miss all these tastes and flavors. I'm glad today I'm back on it. We have 8 days left! Ahh. What do you have ready? All I have in my duffel bag is a tooth brush and tooth paste. I need to go get a few things this week. Are you having trouble sleeping? My mind goes straight to the 24th. But I am most definitely excited this is finally happening.

@@Shemekasr @ - Hey Ladies, I don't mean to hijack your thread but you are not saying FOREVER goodbye to ALL of your favorite foods.

I eat like I am supposed to, an occasionally eat a bite or so of my pre-WLS favorites, so its not FOREVER goodbye.

Its all about using your tool - sleeve, band or bypass!

Good luck!

Thanks @@jane13 because I have certainly been in mourning, haha! @ yes, I am having a difficult time sleeping because I am so anxious! Although I am anxious, I know that I want this and that is a fact! I don't have anything prepared other than child care arrangements for my two kids, ages 1 and 4. Yesterday I went to the grocery store to shop for my pre-op diet. Tonight I am gonna go out to eat Mexican and have a much needed margarita!

Yes @@Shemekasr, I will go shopping tomorrow, I have a list ready and everything. I'm holding off on Protein Powder until after surgery because I know my tastes will change and I want to make sure I will still like the one I have now. But I am SO excited more than anything!! I keep looking at my suit case with all my jeans. I can't wait to leave the tights alone and rock my jeans.

Hi ladies, I'm also having surgery on the 24th! sleeping has been tough.....I can't get my mind off of the whole life style change....I worry too much about what other people will think. I went shopping the other day for foods that I may need the first four weeks....it takes forever to shop when your dissecting every single label.

What's your stats...you know, age, weight, height, goal?

I'm 52, 225, 5' 5" pushing for 140 but I realize I'm 52 and don't need to necessarily get all the way down to 140. I'm getting RNY

What is your list for post op prep? Just curious.

On my list I don't have much. I'm getting chicken/beef broth, cream of Tomato Soup and sugar free Jello. I hear Jello is a real success. I'm only shopping for the liquid diet

        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
