Anyone getting any advice to make your process smoother? Like simple stuff:

-Walk

-Follow nutritional guidelines

-Start walking before surgery even

-Bring a pillow to hold your stomach when you cough/ride home

-Chapstick

My surgery is next Tuesday, February 7th. This is my 7 day of liquid diet. 3 premium Protein shakes a day and 64oz of Water. I drink a cup of low sodium broth in the evening. I'm also allowed sugar free Jello before surgery. I've lost 12 lbs since Saturday. I met with my doctor's yesterday and the pre-op papers were a little scary. But doctor's reassuring in the low risk outcomes they have had and it made me feel better. I was measured, pictures taken and given hugs by the office staff. Everybody is so supportive. Getting through each day fine. Only 4 more days until surgery! Excited and anxious but I'm seeing this through. No turning back. I've waited for over 6 months for this day. Our doctor's office has support groups, classes and offers you a mentor. Mine text me immediately after my pre-op class and told me she was there for me and what to expect after surgery. Very nice to have someone who has been walking the same journey. She's lost 120 pounds! Less than a year. She will come meet me for the first time surgery morning. Good luck to all you February sleepovers! I will let you know how it goes!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
