6 days until surgery



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one who isn't feeling too nervous about the surgery? I'm more so anxious than nervous. I cannot wait. I'm ready for Tuesday to be here.

I'm Tuesday too and feel the same. I'm ready mentally and excited too. I have had 8 days pre-op so far and list 14lbs or 1 stone in our UK money! And it had motivated me to what can be archived. Good luck!

Congrats on everyone's upcoming surgery!

Even though I'm nearly 14 months out, I can easily remember the sweet anticipation of surgery like it was yesterday.

I was so calm and serene going in I think I reached the master level of zen. Hold onto that faith and it will do you well. I have zero regrets and would do it all over again without hesitation. I'm confident that you'll feel the same.

You're going to love your new lives! Best of luck!

I too am oddly super calm and in a zone. I'm ready like never in my life for anything as ready as I am for this. I'm done with high sugars, insulin shots that only put on more weight and recurrent UTIs due to those high sugars. I'm insulin resistant and done with it. Omg. Good luck everyone.

@@TAJ718 I had a requirement to lose 40 pounds prior to surgery. I just lost an additional 10 almost 11 pounds, but the more the better I say! ????

My pre-op diet started yesterday and I am on liquids, broth, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free Popsicles, and Proteins all week and nothing but Clear Liquids on Monday, the day before surgery.

@@olliesoda Congratulations! And good luck to you as well.

@@MicheleLeilani Wow! Congratulations on the weight loss surgery buddy. I wish I could say the same thing, I've only lost 14 out of the 15 required pounds. Hopefully I will be able to lose more by Tuesday.

Mine is Tuesday too, and I'm not nervous at all. More excited and this is all over due. I've been wanting this surgery for 12 years.

And this liquid diet is a breeze! I hate saying that but I'm staying full with the shakes and lots of Water. I do get cravings and head hunger.

Good luck to all my surgery buddies!!

I whole I do get pretty full from the shakes, my head is telling me that I want all the bad stuff. I'm kinda glad I'm going though the liquids because it's allowing my to start this on the right foot and in the right mindset to be super successful.

What are these nutrition classes about. I see everyone posting them and I get what they are about but two months long?... who makes you do these. I do have to go to a nutritionist and take a class but it doesn't take two months and it isnt added on to my 6 month required supervision time. Please enlighten me someone!

        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
