I'ts surreal. i think on some level i never thought i would get this far. Not that i expected to fail at the diet, on not get approved, but I'm one of those expect the worse type people. Needless to say its been an interesting ride. Sleeved 6/1, and amazingly feeling like super man (with meds of course). I left the hospital the next day, i could not sleep or get comfortable and wanted to be in my own space. Good decision thus far, im hiding from the scale so i will be surprised when i go get my staples out on 6/10 (hoping for onderland). so nothing to report just a happy sleever.

My surgery is the 15th and I'm on my pre op two week diet and it's just giving me really bad headaches . I've always had headaches because of my sleep apnea but non like this. It's day five and it's just terrible and I had like 4 unsalted peanuts even thought I'm not suppose to but I felt like my head was hurting because I needed food or something . I wish I could take excedrin .. How is eating during stage 2 for the hospital ?

My sleeve was on 6/1 also -- feeling good also. Trying to get all the Protein in is difficult -- but physically the recovery is much easier than I thought. Where do you have staples? I have no real hunger either -- very strange feeling......

Right but what I found is as long as I don't get bored I'm fine so far I've had popsicles flavored Water Powerade Zero clear Soup from the Korean store beef stew made with real broth broth only of course and today my mom made homemade chicken Soup so the broth from that was flavorful and amazing so I don't really feel like I'm missing anything yet. I am looking forward to my full liquids starting on Friday mostly for the cream of wheat and runny oatmeal

        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.

      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
