My surgery is Nov 1st. Starting the month strong.

I will be starting my soft food phase thanksgiving day technically. I'm a bit worried about what healthy food options there will be for me th at I'm actually able to eat. I may just put off eating so ft foods for a few extra days so I'm not tempted. Is thanksgiving and Christmas a concern for anyone else?

How are people monitoring their progress? I created a spreadsheet of various body measurements, weight, body fat, bmi that I plan on filling out weekly, I started a week before surgery. As well as weekly pictures.

6'1

CW:230

GW:155

BMI 31

Good Luck!! I am excited for you! I think do what will make you comfortable for Turkey day, I know for me in class they said by January day of your surgery they lift all restrictions so for me January 6th and so I am going to miss holiday grub this year and I am ok with that. I wasn't really planning any monitoring type things other that scale... but I do have a skirt and a dress in my closet I have never worn that maybe I will keep an eye on... good luck!

2nd week starts today did good the first 5 days slipped a little yesterday ate a few bites of chicken it was my daughters 2nd birthday and we had it at a all you can eat pizza place so i thought to my self i better eat something so i dont go in there and eat pizza so i ate half of a grilled chicken breast before leaving the house I know i wasn't suppose too but pizza being my all time fav im not so sure i could have went in there and not ate something so i ate something good for me to keep me from eating something very bad for me so its a decision im happy with and would make again that being said back on the liquids today week and one day till surgery down 15 pounds since last Sunday 9 pounds to go and im at my goal weight i wanted to be at before surgery. happy Sunday to everyone

hope the bday party was fun, and I think there are a lot of people whose plans include some actual lean Protein, but I think it was awesome that you knew your limit and prepared that in itself is a pretty great goal. I can't believe I am losing at all on this preop diet, I literally never lose weight so it is building up hope that all of this will work since I have started to now it has been 24lbs.... I am amazed and my thought of what would be nice for myself was 275 pre surgery I am holding strong at 276.4 so hopefully this next week it will be achieved.

Enjoy your time now and just keep preparing I remember thinking omg I ready already and thinking everything was moving really slow but it didn't it moved pretty fast in the end, and I am feeling pretty good with the prework I have done, and I think also during the two week prep seeing the scale move a little faster is also pretty motivating. Thanks for the luck! I will keep you all posted!

      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.
