So I have one day left before surgery....today I had 4 really soft pieces of broccoli...I'm wondering if it's gonna mess me up? I didn't wanna "cheat" I was staying strong but my family definitely doesn't make it easy for me to say no.

Living with my parents is also very frustrating...I know they're gonna support me but my dad (who has had the sleeve 7 years ago) is addicted to sweets. I refuse to be like him but he doesn't make it any easier because he brings snack cakes in the house weekly and my mom is terrible with bringing fried chicken in the house!

I'm working on moving out sometime this year but with my surgery Monday I'm freaking out...what if the broccoli messed me up! What if I can't take the Protein Drinks everyday!!!

What if I miss being a big girl?

Serious thoughts that pop into my head!!!

Are you on a liquid only pre-op diet? I wasn't liquid only until the day before, you will probably be fine just don't eat anything else

I agree that you should let your surgeon know.

It probably should not change anything, but only they can make that decision.

Good luck.

Let the MD know. Best to you. Sounds hard to be around your family right now.

      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
