The pre op liquid was the hardest for me. I suggest you get the sugar free Popsicles. And also the sugar free Jello. They were life savers for me. Just keep looking ahead to the big picture .thats what kept me going .i had my surgery last week and I'm on my last day of thin liquids. It's much easier afterwards .you don't have much of an appetite. Good luck

There's a hilarious (and a tiny bit sad) thread on this site where peeps confess their indulgences. It's called (something like) "Just putting it out there so dirty little secrets can see the light of day"

I did the same ChaCha. I think I'm going to get a mani/pedi tonight to calm my nerves a little bit. I am feeling so anxious right now.

I am too. I am sitting at work and can't even concentrate, but trying not to freak out lol. I did my before picture yesterday. I should have taken it before I started the liquids as I have lost 11 pounds (I don't think it really made that much of a difference). Cant wait for my first after pic :)

I have watched the videos over and over too. I never thought to see if I could get mine on video. Good idea. I did tell him I wanted to see my stomach they take out though...morbid curiosity, I guess

I definitely would not take zquil tonight. I don't think anyone sleeps the night before surgery. You will get enough sleep during and after.

To all my peeps that have surgery tomorrow: good luck and speedy recovery! I am so thankful for this group since everyone knows what I have to deal with and going through. Just took my dose of milk of magnesia , let the fun begin. Is it weird that I am not nervous and actually excited and anxious to get it done tomorrow and start the healing process?!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
