I know! I'm trying to plan plan plan now because I'm in grad school too and I want to be able to really rest during that time. Got all my labs done today and even picked up my post-op meds today. Ordered my Vitamins and I'm trying to figure out my grocery list lol

Yep, I started packing my suitcase tonight already:) 2 weeks on a liquid diet is like a serious challenge. Im not nervous yet, I just want it to hurry up and get here. I was 172lbs this time last summer and now IM 222 and miserable, that's a lot of weight to put on in a short period of time and I can really tell the difference in how I feel. Im ready to feel better! Good luck everyone

Why the mouth spray?

That spray is used for dry mouth, thats the same brand we use in the hospitals in my experience

This time next week my surgery will be complete In Puerta Vallarta Mexico but I wont be leaving until the following saturday bcuz the airline i wanted to use only goes there on Saturdays. I had flyer miles that made the flight free for me and my boyfriend so I couldnt pass tht up. Plus, I may as well stay close to my hospital/surgeon while Im recovering. Im struggling with this 2 week clear liquid diet especially when I see other people not having to do it. My man has been working out of town so I havent really had that support or just having him present at all. Ive been a bit emotional lately anyone else? I dont know if its hormones, him being gone or pending surgery or - YES all of that! I cant wait to say bye to fat me. This summer I havent even wanted to go out to places I normally go and its depressing. Sorry I am whiney today

2 weeks of Clear Liquids sounds inhuman but you got this! It’s almost over and you’ll be so happy once you are out of surgery

I start my preop diet tomorrow. I'm really viewing it as the start if my lifestyle change...not the date of my surgery. So tonight my family and I are going out to one of my favourite restaurants (with cocktails) to Celebrate and have a last hurrah!! So excited tomorrow is nearly here

@ Miss Poodle, the same day you start your presurgery preparation I shall be having my RnY surgery. Any prayers and Good Wishes directed at me on that day I shall be grateful for. This is a brave new world we will be entering, but one I have been yearning for.
How are you feeling?

I was originally going for the Sleeve however today my doctor changed me to the Bypass due to on and off acid reflux issues he said it would be better to get the bypass to avoid revision later. My date is September 7th, and I'm super excited to get going with this new life style and new me.
How's your preop diet going?

      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
