Well, the big day is about 30 days out and I am getting more and more excited. Being overseas for my husbands work doesn't allow for much of an in person support group, so I am looking to find some buddies here. I know that there will be struggles and challenges and then there will be victories. I hope that I can find some buddies to share these experiences with.

thanks!

Hi I am July 5th too! I think I am more excited than nervous. I am ready to start changing.

I have not been happy in the place that I have been in over the past 10 years.

So when I think of losing this weight I feel excited, I am a little anxious about what it is going to be

like the that first few weeks and first month.

I don't have to be on a preop diet but thinking I should start going low carb and giving up caffeine and sugar. I have been eating horrible out of nerves and knowing how my lifestyle and diet will be changing, I get anxious but then thnk of how unhappy I have been. I know the first month will be hard but I know it will get better each day, I have been trying to research everything. Do you know what Protein shake you will use after surgery?

Hello all, If all goes well with my EGD on June 21, my surgery date will be July 5. So excited and would like to join your buddy group. Personally for me, It really helps to have others to talk to that are going through the same experiences and to be able to pounce ideas off of when I am unsure about something.

Hello July 5th surgery buddy! I would be happy for you to join especially since our surgery is going to be on the same day! How exciting! It does seem to make it a bit easier having someone to bounce ideas off of and just to go through this journey with. It's going to be a struggle at first and the support of others is what will impact us the most. Yay! What are your starting stats, if you don't mind sharing. You can always private message me too!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
