Lol... Barr is half of my last name. But yes I’m really excited just the pre-op diet I think is the hardest thing ever. Doc wanted me to start on the 12th but I figured sooner than later would probably be better.

Yep get all your healthy,on! You are going to do so good, in a couple weeks you'll be celebrating and shouting from the rooftops I DID IT! Now you have that lovely[emoji30] liquid diet to contend with. I told another girl this morning to think about of it as getting ready-for-surgery medicine, if it helped. And afterwards you'll be starting on the smooth road to recovery. Cool, isn't it? Makes me hungry for my own RnY! It's going to happen, just don't have a date-maybe MAY? I should know more after the 25th.[emoji13][emoji304]

I bought the premier clear Protein Drink and it’s awesome. Tastes like crystal light tropical punch

It’s great to be able to just share easily with others about what’s happening. I’m having RNY on 23 April. Just had my last pre op appointments and starting soft foods tomorrow. Getting excited that this is actually becoming a reality.

My surgery is on April 16th (less than one week). I had my pre-op appointment today. I am really excited. THe nervousness has subsided for now, I am in the mode of "let's get this over with" but I am sure this weekedn the nervousness will return.

Good luck to everyone!

      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.
