13 days away from surgery and I’m definitely feeling nervous. I’ve read and re-read all of the information booklets from the hospital almost daily. I’ve watched a ton of YouTube videos and I’m looking through my weight loss surgery for dummies book. I’m ready for 9/17, the wait is making me anxious.

I'm with you on this feeling of the NEW beginning going to start!

Had the Endoscopy today! Check off - Done Next is the Hospital visit and get the time of surgery. 9/11

I started the liquid diet early because it was easier to start on the weekend home than at work. But I can sure tell now when the 3 hrs. are up for my next shake. I'm surprised that I'm getting the 64 oz of Water in and sometimes wanting more. I found that putting in a 8 oz glass is making all the difference.

Yesterday I completed my first week of pre-op. Clear Liquids + Protein Shakes and a regular dinner.

Today I start my next phase of pre-op which consists of all clear liquids and Protein shakes. This phase will last 3 weeks.

Surgery is 9/25 and then I'll follow this same pre-op diet for at least 4 weeks post-op.

I'm doing pretty well so far until people get into long conversations about food. Then I get head and heart hungry. Physically I've not experienced a whole lot of hunger as I feel like I'm sloshing most of the time from all the liquids.

Staying strong.

I start my preop diet today...it makes everything more real and the nerves are kicking in. The diet is 3 Protein Shakes per day and 2 cups non starchy vegetables with fluids like Water, diet cordial, black tea and coffee. For me the fluids will be water and herbal teas...I'm off coffee and tea and can't stand diet cordial. As I haven't been able to tolerate dairy since my sleeve...i can't do the Optifast shakes so I'm using soy Protein isolate for my shakes instead. So here goes!!
Very excited about this new chapter in my life. Now just impatiently waiting for the 19th!

Hello,

I am scheduled for gastric bypass September 6th in Tacoma Washington. 6 days into preop diet and it is getting easier. I have to agree with Frustr8 that I am more concerned about life if I did not do this. I just keep reminding myself I want to be here for my grandchildren.

GOOD LUCK tomorrow! Im counting down til i get on the plane saturday for Mexico and then surgery on monday the 10th. Let us know how it goes!

I had surgery on August 17th. I go for my post-op appt tomorrow. So far so good. It was a struggle at the beginning and of course I had a meltdown and wished I didn't have the surgery, however; a couple of my friends who had the surgery said I would go through that. I am just taking it one day at a time.

      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.
