The night before gastric bypass surgery.



Recommended Posts

The long awaited day is finally here. So many thoughts running through my head. Thinking of a positive future where I am healthy and active. Also fearing that I will leave my 5 year old and 2 year old motherless. Aside from my husband and kids, I have told no one else about my surgery. Hopefully a year from today I will be posting about how successful the year was and how my life has changed for the better.

I m certain you will be just fine, you are going to be setting a good example health-wise foe your children. Don't be be blue @ blue girl I'm sure you are in good surgical hands. Sure,you can be a smidge fearful but you are doing a good thing, you will,have the chance to be the fun game playing mom who will be here to watch them grow up. Pretty cool isnt it?

Today's my Big day too. I too am leaving 4 kids and my hubby to go have surgery. At first I felt selfish but I always put them before my own want and needs and that's how I ended up like the because I neglected my own health in order to make sure they were always happy and healthy. For once I need to put myself first and I need to take care of myself in order to take care of them. I know it's hard to leave them but you're doing the right thing for yourself in order to have a good future for all of you. Good luck today sending good vibes. I will see you on the losers bench.

I am in the same boat you are. My hubby and I both have surgery in the morning. For the most part nobody else knows, including our kids. It’s nerve-wracking, to say the least! It’s all right, though, we got this! :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
