You can do it. A small sacrifice for what you’ll get in return.

You’re so right. Long term success over short term gain

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm getting nervous, too! I've never had surgery so I really don't know what to expect. y team has told me what to expect, but I'm still a little nervous.




Also, are we the same person?! I've been cleaning house like crazy for the past week and yesterday I thought about how it seems like I'm nesting 😂


I mentioned it to a friend and she said she did the same thing before her shoulder surgery. Must be a woman thing! Also, this is my first surgery ever, too. 😬
Good luck tomorrow!

First day was hard, next 2 were harder because I was hungry and had a headache, but after that it got so much easier. I have not much interest in food because if I have to drink another Protein Shake I might throw up!

Mine is Thursday also. What do you have to do for the fast? I have the 2 week diet and then on Wed I stop eating at noon and go to Clear Liquids.

CeeCee I was also moved out of the Jan crew after my Jan 22 surgery was postponed to Feb 12th so I can have an endoscopy done first. I’ll still be following all your progress though💕

It’s so weird how I’m not feeling nervous anymore. I’m currently just wanting the time to pass quickly so I can get this show on the road

That's kind of how I feel, too. I'm kind of nervous, but more than anything I just want to be post-op.

        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
