Oh my goodness, I just realized that my surgery is only 5 days away!! I think that my husband is more worried about it than I am.....Its the first surgery I have ever had, so he is concerned. I told him that all my pre-op testing is good and normal. So, far my surgery is scheduled for 11am. I am a little nervous, but excited too.

Hello ! My surgery is July 10th!! I’m working on my liquid diet and so far it’s been okay. I haven’t lost any weight for being on day 5 but I am hoping that changes as time goes on! Good luck to all

I'm right behind you @Simpson062681 Just got approved yesterday from insurance which happened to be day 1 of my preop diet. Not on a strictly liquid diet so it's not that bad. Yesterday was fine until the boredom at night came but made it through. Havn't done lunch yet and feeling a bit hungry but wanna wait a bit longer before having my 2nd shake. Surgery is July 12th for me.

Also on the 12th and doing a no fat/sugar/carb liver shrinking diet.

Never noticed how much I randomly think of food throughout the day and it would normally cause me to go get whatever just popped in my head. The struggle is real but I’m determined to conquer this.

I am very excited to have my surgery date! July 16th! I am having trouble sticking to my diet. I have gained back about 3 pounds. Any suggestions? I have really craved sugar lately.
I'm thinking my surgery will be the 16th as well. If not any day in that week.!!!

I am so excited for all of us! I appreciate all the support and discussion! Good luck to all of us having surgery in the next few weeks! I will start my pre op diet on the 8 th. I have not yet been approved by my insurance. I hope we will have that back this week ahead.

Just turned over the calendar to begin July tomorrow -- my palms had a sweaty moment as I viewed the month, realizing July 17 is coming up fast! Am I ready? Almost, but the clock will keep ticking whether I'm ready or not. Anxious to begin the 10-day pre-op, but may indulge in a piece of zucchini bread before that starts July 7. I miss baking. However, I keep saying to myself, It's Only Temporary! O yes, I'm in Michigan.

      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
