Yes it is! I'm still in shock mode because it happened unexpectedly fast! I'm just so thankful everything went through. I was starting to feel discouraged and a bit stressed emoji30.png

Oh I totally get that. The amount of stuff I had to go through from almost the beginning of this year till I got my surgery date was insane. Even having to GAIN 20 pounds to make the BMI mark, and that was actually a lot harder than what I thought it was going to be. I'm SOOOOO sick of fast food right now. But we are here and IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN :)

Congrats!!! My date is October 20th. Just confirmed yesterday. Not complaining at all but I feel so rushed. Like I don't even have a month to get my head around it.

October 20th! This is happening kinda fast for me. Like I feel like I really need to wrap my head around how much my life will change in less than 30 days! Also I'm get worried easily and question if I can get my clearances in time. I'm sure I can, I'm just anxious.

So yesterday was bad. I cheated on the diet and had some Nachos and I feel horrible about it. It wasn't even worth it because they didn't even taste good. Today is a new day but I'm back on the diet and I think this slip up has only made me stronger.

Pretty sure your body forgives you, and it sounds like your spirit will too! I'm sure you will do well with your surgery. I don't care for the pre op, but it tastes much better than it did when I started, no hunger. I imagine "other" food would be gross tasting, and your share certainly helped me! Thanks for being so generous! Are you from Butte MT? I have family all over the area there, although we are in NC.

Had bloodwork yesterday and pre-anesthesia consult. Have EDG tomorrow, last hurdle!!! Getting real.

Pre-op liquid diet starts 16 days and surgery in 26.

Get this - my 3 daughters in support of their mother are going to do a liquid diet with me! 💞 They have from 20-50 lbs to lose. LOL Should be interesting!

Just got Oct 12 surgery date




My surgery date is October 3rd 2017 5 days to go!!! Prop diet is going well! I made sure I had different flavors of Protein Drinks Sams had Carmel banana cream chocolate and I got a fuzzy Navel flavor from the Vitamin shop. It's so good. So if have a variety it's not bad! Good luck!!

        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.

      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
