I'm July 24th. It seems forever away and I'm starting to panic. I've fought myself in the "I better eat this now while I still can" trap. Need to get my head in the right space over the next few weeks!


Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

PS - Me too about the "eat this now..." which is a terrible, dichotomous view that has plagued me my whole life. I am so ready!!

Hey, I’m July 25th. Mine was July 11th and got pushed back. So I’m just trying to keep busy for two weeks, then pre-op diet.

I hear you. I’ve been eating anything I had a craving for while I could but starting 7/5 I’m going to start eating healthier and 7/11 I’ll start preop diet. I’m definitely excited. Good luck to both of us

July 30th! 27 days and counting! Pre-admission on the 9th, liquid diet start on the 16th. So ready for this. I feel like its my wedding day. Anxious and nervous at the same time and sort of a dream like daze counting down to my reality.

Hola Bari-Siblings! Ohio State has a 8 stage plan for my Bariatric future, I am now at Step 6-meet with BARIATRIC surgeon, in my case Bradley Needleman MD, have him tell me the length of my presurgical liquid liver shrinking diet, 1 week,2 week(usual) or shudder an entire month. 1 month usually reserved for BMI greater than 51. One nurse awarded 47.3 other supposedly equivalent RN said I had shortened and gave me 50.15, who's right? I vote for the lower, but like my vote on National Election Day- meh. Insurance is okay, at this point they say " Will you just operate, already? We're tired of this dragging on so long!" So Dr Needleman, Estimated Date of Surgery, and then Glory Glory🏥 It is finally REBIRTHDAY for me me me!🚩🚩😪🚩🚩🎉

Hi all! I just joined this, I’m having my surgery July 23, not looking forward to the 7 day pre op liquid diet but I’m learning it could be worse & I could have to do it for longer. Looking forward to speaking with all of you, we can do 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.
