My doc doesn’t require a pre op diet but he did tell me to lose 10-15 pounds last month. I don’t know if that was to actually lose or to see if I was committed enough. I did the liquid diet and lost 13.5 pounds and gained two back. He’s fine with it all and well surgery is in NINE days girl. We got this :)

Update: I live in Sonoma County and, as many of you know, we are experiencing devastating fires here and in surrounding counties. My surgery is scheduled for 10/17 and I’m not positive it will happen. It turns out I am not sick but my sore throat was from the smoke I hadn’t even known about yet. Prayers out to all affected by this f***ed up sh** and hopes maybe to a surgery next week...[emoji15][emoji15]

Hi there, thanks for asking- I am alive and my home is still standing but I’ve been evacuated, we’re all surrounded by 22 fires right now. So very sad. I spent a few hours in the clinic yesterday and do have a bronchitis flare up from all the smoke, Im on steroids and antibiotics. Phones and power have been down since Sunday and Medical offices have been swamped with fire victims so I just got ahold of the surgeons office today and they said surgery isn’t canceled but it isn’t necessarily on either- I find out Monday, the day before. I may postpone it for a few weeks because of my lungs and due to not having a place to recover- I’m in a local hotel with my son and two cats!!!

I bet you’re excited 🤗🤗 how are you doing??

I’m hanging in there. A little emotional yesterday and today but I’m still full speed ahead. Waiting on the phone all tomorrow. It’s so frustrating that we have to wait until a day before. I am trying to make arrangements for my 7 year old and I can’t until I know what time I have to be a the hospital.

      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.
