Anyone else's stomach in a ball of nerves now? Didn't think it'll happen to me, since having multiple surgeries before. Not really nervous, still excited, guess anxious maybe? I'm not familiar with this feeling.

at first I thought maybe I had a bad Protein drink...but it hasn't gone.

On the flip side, I ordered a size large swimsuit for next year. 😂 I expect to be wearing it too and hopefully it'll fit and not be too big (or even small).

I am feeling similar. I think it is just normal to be anxious before a major surgery.

I will be picked up tomorrow morning at 8:30 to head over to the hospital. I will have some pre op tests and then surgery.

I will be keeping all of you in my prayers for a safe surgery with no complications.

We are all going to do great. I hope we can manage to sleep a little tonight. See you on the other side!!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared! But I know my journey to a thinner healthier me starts as 6 am now to sleep just a little bit if possible. My prayers are with you all. May the Lord gift all of our surgeons with care and skill to bring us through this and set us on our paths to brighter happier healthier lives. Xoxo my friends see you after we wake up!

For the past two days, I've been on liquids, only yesterday was Clear Liquids. Since I don't have to be at the hospital today until 1, my mom and I are actually going to the zoo! Thankfully, I can still drink Water all day. I'm still not nervous or excited. I have no idea why. I know a few of you are already in prep, so good luck!!!

Have fun at the zoo! That's a great way to kill time.

        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
