I am scheduled for June 28th also in Jacksonville Florida. Sounds like we have a good little group going here. We are all in the same place for our surgeries. I am very nervous also. I have 100 percent confidence in my surgeon. I will be starting my full liquid diet on Tuesday before surgery. From what I have been reading, I don't think my doctor has been as strict as some of the other doctors on this website. I have been on a low sodium and no/very low carb way of life for 2 weeks. The hardest part for me has been no fruit or milk. I am already down 22 pounds from my first appointment. Blood pressure is improving, blood sugars are getting better. My problem now is am I doing the right thing or should I just continue with this "diet " they have us on. I am diabetic and feel like I need to continue to eat better and feel better.

I know the answer is have the surgery done, I am self pay and that is alot of money on a single person. I will update when I can after the surgery. Good Luck to everyone here.

I had my surgery on 06-20-17. The first few days have been rough, I'm finally on full liquid diet now and I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, because I am a little bit more encouraged with the full liquid diet. We have to remember that the discomfort that you will feel is only temporary and once you get over those first four days, you will be fine.

Very true. I remember drinking Water hurt. Now I take some pretty big sips and I am fine. Full liquids I do great. Puréed has been tough but like the rest, I am sure it gets better with time. Had a fried egg just now and that seems to be settling well. I chewed it a lot though. Tried some baby food tonight. Won't be doing that again.

I second guessed right up until they gave me the happy juice and I am so glad I did it. I'm already down 15 lbs in 18 days and my energy is through the roof. First few days are rough and every stage is a bit tough at the beginning but it gets better every day. I got out a tote full of clothes that 3 months ago were way too small. Today they fit or are a bit too big. Best thing I ever did for myself!!!

I also had my sleeve on June 28, 2017. Doing better than I originally thought. I love reading all the post on here about what to expect. I have not stepped on a scale as of today, so I don't know what I have lost in the last couple of days. The only thing I remember really is me waking up in recovery and the nurse telling me it was over. My BP was extremely low. Got into my room, with a full house. The family support system is great. Have not had any of the nausea or vomiting (except recovery). Just struggling to drink all my liquids to stay hydrated.

I have found strength in reading about everyone's journey.

Thank you for the advice, I have been taking gax x strips for the cramping (seems to work well) Today I was so excited I was able to move to full liquids. Something new. A little disappointed I have only lost 2 pounds since my surgery. I am hoping it is just swelling. Has anyone else had this also?

How's everyone doing? Just got home today. Had a few bleeding issues. What are you eating? They moved me onto full fluids right away....just struggling to find things I can tolerate.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
