I think i was mentally better prepared. It is not that bad. The key is keep ur self hydrated, walk walk and walk.

Pain will be there but that is what we are opting for. Its only 5 days for me but i am super excited about future.

Best of luck and always remember this something we want Desparately.

I’m with you guys with the crazy mix of emotions. I’m being sleeved on Thursday, June 28. I think I’m getting through the final days by keeping busy. I’m shopping for the house so I don’t need to do that when I get back (I have 4 boys plus a husband and man do they eat lol). I’m also shopping for the things I need like broth, sugar free juice, Protein Shakes, etc.

Prepare and keep busy. It will not only help you get through the surgery but it will also help you through this preop diet.

Good luck and a speedy recovery to us all!!!

The day after mine that's Awesome . I also brought everything that I could possibly need. I have so many Protein powders, Water, Jello, broth, etc. I have a son and get so much anxiety at the thought of not being with him for possibly two days (I have separation issues) lol. This is also my first time ever having surgery so that makes me super nervous but I am going in with positive thoughts and I know that this is the right decision. Thanks for taking the time to write me and yes good luck and speedy recovery to us all!!!!!!

        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
