@@Elle09 I got through the day, thank you so much for asking, I appreciate it!

I haven't cheated at all yet. I'm so proud of myself.

I'm a supply teacher and didn't get any calls for the last 3 days so its just been me and my thoughts. I have work from tomorrow until my surgery on the 30th and I think keeping busy is going to really help me.

It's all worth it in the end right?

From toronto here and you are In The right place if you want people to be honest with you :). I had an rny in October. What you are going through with liquids is normal. The first week is the hardest, second is easier. I started my Vitamins in the preop phase which helped with energy.

Hello Megan

I have VSG surgery scheduled for January 23, which happens to be next Monday! I'm getting really nervous right now and not to mention I'm currently on the liver shrinking diet. It's getting real! My thoughts are:

"I hope this works for me "!

@@Yvette804 Best of luck on your surgery! How are you finding the diet? You are so close to surgery, congratulations!

With hard work, I'm sure this will work for you! I am currently having those thoughts as well! I'm struggling so much to get through the diet that I'm wondering if I was just meant to be morbidly obese forever.

Hi @Yvette804it's going well! I hit a plateau for a bit but that was my fault from eating foods that weren't as nutrious as I should have because of my grandmother becoming ill, ending up in hospice and ultimately her death the last week and a half. But with the help of my family I am back on track and still losing! 40 pounds down and I meet my surgeon on Tuesday and am looking forward to continuing on this journey

      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
