My VSG is scheduled for 8/27/18. Feels so far away but too close as well as my tummy does flip-flops just thinking about it. I have to admit I’ve been indulging since I’ve jumped through all the hoops ( mid-June). Working on getting my focus and discipline back. Planning to break out paperwork and re-educate myself. Any other pre-surgery ‘guilty indulgers’ out there?

Surgery date is 8/6. Started my preop diet today - surgeon required Optifast shakes. THEY TASTE LIKE DIRT! I’m going to “cheat” and switch to PREMIER!!

I go in for my surgeon appointment this Wednesday and they'll let me know my surgery date then - so excited! When I spoke to the woman today about my appointment on Wednesday she said they schedule based on any requirements my insurance may have, but since my insurance has no requirements if your BMI was over 50 when you first began, mine would pass me without any other requirements needed. Heres hoping for a not-so-distant surgery date!

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the Protein and I have the options of things like protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready

Yes, I have been having weekend food funerals. Small coconut cream pie Sonic shake. Cheeseburger wrap from Beef o'Bradys (so good) Panera Bagels. Tomorrow is 2 week until surgery. I gave up coffee and my vices lol.

        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
