I got confused and originally thought this post was by you until I seen the pic, lol






I hope this doesn't happen often, I'll never be able to change my profile pic LOL


You’ll be able to change it. We just have to pay attention to the numbers in the name 😉

And I look forward to my REBIRTHDAY with an unbelievable amount of excitement. What a wonderous chance at a future, I vow not to squander a single second of it all!😛👍For all the 💦all the days of sorrow, of disappointment will be over and with my bright shiny tool I'll March forward into life, not looking fearfully behind but into the shiny sunlight of the future.
That is amazing! I love the thought of it being a rebirthday! I’m so excited for the both of us! July can’t come soon enough!

On your way to July 2nd! Are you on a liquid liver'-shrinking diet before your surgery. Oh I know you must be starting to get more excited! I still haven't got a firm date, thinking middle-ish, my son keeps telling me to keep the faith but down deep I fear another roadblock or something bad happening. I want this so bad, maybe more than they want to perform it? We will get through this together and Celebrate on the. other side of surgery, I have to tie a big knot in the end of that rope I've been hanging from and hold on for all I'm worth!

I’m so so excited! It’s just around the corner! I actually do not have to do a preop liquid diet for my program however I decided to do one myself. I have heard from others on this site that those who have the liquid diet before end up transitioning easier. It is definitely more difficult than I thought. Being at work with everyone enjoying their Snacks and chocolate has made it worse, but I’m sticking to it and I’m going to get through it! I’m anxious but so ready! Time went by so fast! And you are going to be right behind me!! I felt the same way, That I was going to miss something or something is going to stop my process! But nothing is and nothing will for either of us! I just had my preop class today and even got my soap for the night before and day of shower! That some how made it seem so real!! I can’t wait for you to join me in this process! We will help each other along the way! 💜💜

I wonder what OSU will do wi5h me? Well, yeah that's true, but I am bringing up a point. IAM ALLERGIC TO HIBICLENS. The last time at my last surgery I looked a cross between sunburn and acid burn and hurt! It felt,like somebody gave,me a rundown with coarse sandpaper. I know there are nurses,who have,worked surgery and a lot of other smart people. What to,the do,with a person like me? Do,i get,my mound of tummy painted with betadine or what? Pretty sure I don't have an iodine sensitivity. would have shoed up,before now, if I had. Feel free to scratch,your head on my behalf!!😖

        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
