Hola Team September!!

Day 5 of my 10 day pre-op diet nearly done and it was a rough go. Although I'm not hungry, I made the mistake of doing a 30 minute session on the elliptical before work and ended up being grumpy and miserable all day. I might go for a few short walks but no more exercise until after surgery.

The surgeon's office called me today and said they have a cancellation for the day before my surgery date and would I like that date (9/27) Uhhhhh...pause, gulp, okay. But I start my preop diet tomorrow? I asked. That's okay she said. I knew I could keep the 28th, but I thought okay one day sooner. Once I got my head wrapped around it and made some work arrangements I was good. So here I go. The countdown is on.

I'm scheduled for 9/19. I've been doing the modified liquid diet for a few weeks already. Excited to get through this point and onto the next phase.

Don't worry about cheating on pre op diet. I did too and I had my bypass yesterday with no problems. As long as you not eating greasy fries all day, don't stress!

This is not good advice. You may have not had problems - but plenty of people have had their surgeries cancelled (started and sewn back together without having surgery) for not following the liquid diet and not shrinking their liver enough. The purpose of the liquid diet is to put your body in ketosis - burning fat from your liver - any carbs will take you out of ketosis (it doesn't have to be greasy fries). It's important to stick with the pre-op diet as prescribed by your physician (it's really not just a suggestion).

What's everyone planning on bringing to the hospital

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm planning on taking very little. The clothes I wear to hospital, Vaseline (for my lips), toothbrush (I'm not even bothering with toothpaste), dry mouth rinse (biotene), wipes (for face, hands and other parts!) and on the advice of some of the folks on the other side of surgery I am going to take some gas-x strips with me. Pretty much everything will fit in my handbag.

Will also keep my phone with me, and some headphones but sending my wallet home with my better half.

Random items im taking: 2 bottles of Fiji Water and a couple of disposable Soup spoons.

      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.
