Did anyone else feel really sick on the pre-op diet? Mine is 5 shakes up to 2 cups non starchy veggies, no added fat.... there have been a couple of days I’ve felt OK— but most of the time I’ve felt lethargic and at times light headed and aches. I keep fantasizing about food and it’s freaking me out— also that if I can’t handle this how am I going to handle the next 3 months?!! I know there’s things to work through and I’m committed to working through my food issues but UGHH!

I just had my surgery July 23rd. I was very nauseous a few hours after surgery. But, so far today, I've experienced little nausea. I was able to swallow pills and, knock on wood, I didn't experience any reactions to foods (smell,taste).

Finally got my insurance approval just 16 hours before my surgery time! To my 7/25/2018 gastric bypass buddies @mercmerc and @Laura7, I pray for a complication-free surgery and recovery for you!

I've got my hospital bag packed with 2 changes of clothing, phone charger, cholesterol meds, toiletries, lip balm, dry mouth spray, tummy pillow, and earphones. CPAP goes in the bag in the morning, then it's off to Reston Hospital Center at 6:00 a.m. for a 8:45 surgery!

      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.
