I have the headaches too! I’m not hungry at this point but it’s getting harder to drink my required Protein. And I’d usually take excedrin for the headaches but I know the rule is Tylenol. Which sucks because Tylenol has never in the history of ever worked for any kind of headache or pains I’ve had 🤦🏽‍♀️ Good luck! We’re almost at the finish line to start our new lives

You’ll be out of this liquid misery a little sooner than me, lol. June 27th sounds like a great day for a rebirth 🙂 My surgeon says 3:15pm but the hospital said they have to call me the day before to give me my actual time because surgery times often change for earlier than originally anticipated

It’s to a point that the smell of food makes me nauseous for some reason. Like I have to leave the room until the smell airs out. And I can’t lie, I’m a little cranky because I miss the ability to chew 😩 and if one more person calls me talking about the delicious meal they just had I’m going to explode! 🤯
Omg, this is so my husband. He's so nice to not eat in front of me, but he's talking about food all the time, unknowingly I suspect. I just say, yes dear, sound great, wish I could sympathize but nope, let me just drink my meal , or even offer him a sip.

I’d die, like all of that stuff sounds amazing right now. But I’m glad you’ve been able to stay on the straight and narrow. I’ve had people telling me it’s okay to cheat a little. I’m like “nope, I take this surgery and this diet very seriously. I will not cheat!” And I haven’t, I’m proud really, lol
That's the way I am, I figure I started this in December and I'm just a idle over a week to go, I can do this!! Looking at the big picture when I get to the other side. Glad you're able to do this struck by the diet, prepping us for after surgery.

It gets better, I'm off Alieve too. They told me Tylenol too which doesn't work as well. Good luck

I’m gonna be late July/early August. I’m brand new here. I’m meeting the surgeon July 3rd for my consult. I’d love to have some surgery buddies along for the ride.

Congrats and keep us posted on your date. This is the right to make some surgery buddies. There is even a list (which you can find on page 19) that has all of the members and their dates and tentative dates

Just FYI the struggle is real. Earlier today I sipped too much Water too fast and almost threw up.

        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
