Surgery Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

So surgery is tomorrow .... nervous but just anxious to get it over with lol ... excited but nervous ..... been hard 6 months working lost about 45 lbs during the last 6 months ... and now this is just the beginning of this journey...well midway ... surgery 9am so I know it’s going to be hard getting a good sleep any suggestions to sleep calm like a baby lol ... I try not to think of it to much but it’s surgery and thats a main thing... I have heard of doctors stopping surgery due to fatty liver even if they did diet changes and lost weight .... also after surgery do you take your Protein liquid that day hours after surgery or what happens after surgery do I bring my protein liquid drink with me ??? or once I go home is it then that i start my liquid drink once again ...??

I'm on Optifast I'm allowed 3 shakes 1 Protein Bar and 1 Soup. I've lost 10 pounds but with that said I think it's because it runs right through me😫As long as you are following it you'll be ok!

Glad to hear all went well. I am going in on 12/11 and feel the same way - excited but scared. It is great to hear everyone's stories and their progress through the months. You all give me such hope. During this whole process I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease so I am hoping this weight loss will make my legs feel a lot better. Mine is all in my legs and feet. I do not have any tremors or pain/cramping in my arms or hands at all. Legs are getting weaker so this weight loss should really help.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
