It is completely normal to be nervous. This is, after all, life changing! But I know we are all prepared for that or we wouldn't be here, right? ❤️

I am on the same date, but sorry I can’t help. My surgeon doesn’t require it.  Just the day before surgery. Can you believe we are only 2 weeks out?  I’m starting to get more and more nervous.

OK, so if you are the 8th and start tomorrow I think someone couldn't add and gave me an extra day ha ha. I thought my liquids start on the 26th which is 2 weeks exactly:) I didn't want to start on my long Monday at work.

My 10 day liver shrinking pre op diet starts tomorrow. It’s hard to believe I will having my revision surgery in 9 days. I am so ready to get it done and start living my new life. I have my shakes, crystal light mixes, sugar free Jello and broths ready for the work day tomorrow!

I usually do well throughout the day until 3pm ish when I start feeling that head hunger. I’m telling myself to keep busy at work because when I am busy I don’t even think about eating!

Wish me luck!

I did an unofficial pre op start Monday of last week but since I didn’t officially start until tomorrow I didn’t go too hard on myself. Especially this weekend when we celebrated my twins first birthday! I feel ready for this diet. I know it’s going to be hard but I can do 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.
