Starting to get anxious!



Recommended Posts

So, my surgery is on May 29th which means that I start my liquid diet in less than a week, next Tuesday. I have been trying to eat and say "good-bye" to as many foods as possible before that time. Well, tonight we went out for supper and I had a very yummy, huge omelet (didn't eat it all) with bacon, sausage and cheese. I also had two slices of toast with butter and jam. I was nice and full by the time that we left the restaurant. My issue is that when leaving the restaurant, I could smell someone in the area grilling and it smelled SOOOO good. Now I'm thinking that I need to have a nice big grilled hamburger before my liquid diet but have no access to a grill. Potato salad would be wonderful too. I just keep thinking of more and more foods that I want/need to have before next week. Has anyone else dealt with this and how did you handle it? I'm starting to freak out a little bit.....

Well, reading this was torture as I’m still on post op liquids [emoji6]. But it all sounds delicious. To be honest, I enjoyed every single meal I had for the week before I went into surgery (no liquid diet required until the day before for me). I went to my favorite restaurants and ordered my favorite things, but didn’t over eat like I normally would. I was shocked that I’d still lost 2 more pounds on the day of surgery. I don’t know what to tell you, because saying you should eat what you want while you can is not the healthy thing to say, but I did and it worked out ok for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have been so descriptive. :blush:

        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
