Hi friends!
I am also getting surgery on 7/28. Yay, we should follow each other's progress since we'll be on the same timeline.
I'm starting liquid diet tomorrow and definitely not looking forward to it.
I hope it gets easier for you! Like PrayingForWeightLoss I am worried about starting this on the weekend. Will have to think of ways to occupy my mind.

I am the 28th too! I hope the weekend went well for you. Last weekend was rough for me too. I spent the whole day thinking about food. I made sure I stayed really active this weekend. I made it all about me.... mani pedi and a 2 hour massage. Got my nails a lovey shade of blue that should match my hospital gown [emoji2]

Hi all.. my op is tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone here cheated on their pre-op diet?
I took a couple of bites of my sister's fish burger yday and another bite of my husband's burger. Now i feel so bad and worried [emoji30]
I did lose about 5 kg for the past week, mostly prob Water weight.

Smart!

Overall it was a success: 5 lbs lost, minimal headache/discomfort, and slept a lot. I event went to my nephew's birthday party and watched my whole family eat pizza right next to me. That was........ torture. But I stayed strong.

Good luck this week and Friday! I followed you so we can keep track of each other :)

All the best for your op! Im 2 days post op and getting discharged this evening. They had to keep reminding me to drink more Water and walk more. Looking forward to a speedy recovery!

I totally love this idea! Im on Aug 3rd tho. (Close enough). Knowing someone else is going through the same thing as i am gives me relief. You are about to have your surgery tomorrow (if the dates are correct). Are you scared? I know I'm a bit afraid and I'm 5 days away.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
