And while you all,are in WTF-land, saying I know I asked for this, but when does the beaten, pummeled, and stabbed feel8ngs ever subside? Here ciomes little Frustr8 singing as she goes in and limping. as comes out, holding,onto her son's arm and flinching,with every step. Oh the first week of September will be very memorable in my and maybe everyone else's life.😰😪😪

Just wanted to post some encouragement for everyone starting the preop diet. I’m on day 10 and I promise it does get better. I’m still hungry but I don’t have headaches and feel crappy. My surgery is in 5 days so that is motivation to stay strong! Good luck to everyone in surgery today!

I'm on Day # 7 and I'm having a Why Me attack? Once my anti-body antibodies build up will I move happily toward the goals again?👸🌺😪

@rosawise@me didn't your husband just have his surgery either the 6th or 7th, and you posted from his room? Now you have been given a August 21st surgery date yourself? Busy times for your family, maybe you'll be able to prop each other up as you heal!👩&👨

Good luck on your surgery! Mine's coming up next week too. I'm on day 7 of the diet and it's not as bad as it once was. When I see food I know tastes good, though, im like "damn, you look delicious, I miss you.." but I don't eat it. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dying for an espresso from Starbucks and a big, juicy steak right about now lol

      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.
