Mine is Monday 8/27, have to say I am nervous, I keep thinking something is going to go wrong and that it’s just not in the cards for me. This preop diet is killing me but I have lost 14 lbs in 11 days.

I feel exactly the same way. I am having surgery the day after you and I keep saying that im probably going to get hit by a bus or something before then. I have the worse luck ever!

I was the same way. Had my surgery yesterday & did well.

My husband had to go to the ER while I was in surgery for severe abdominal pain. Right now he's waiting to have a CT to see if it is appendicitis. UGH! He's so worried that he won't be able to take care of me if he does.

@ChellNC Glad to hear your doing well, but sorry to hear about the hubby. Hopefully it is something simple and he doesn't have to have surgery.

Be patient. Don't weigh every day if its going to bother you. PIck one day a week and let that be weigh in day. If you still need to step on it every day, don't worry about the weight until weigh in day. You'll do fine.

      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.
