OMG Its almost time



Recommended Posts

I started my clear liquid diet this morning. Finally having to start the diet is really making it set in that I have surgery on Monday!

This whole journey started with my PCM sending a referral to the surgeon in late Feb. Now suddenly here I am. I'm so excited and so nervous all at the same time. I'm mostly nervous because I am having my surgery while my hubby is still deployed. Timing wise with my daughters gymnastics meet schedule this is just when it needed to be. Now rather than in Jan or Feb.

My mom will be staying with me but, she is legally blind so it should be interesting (my dad will be transportation). My daughter will be staying at a team-mates house for about a week so her practice schedule isn't interrupted since her first meet is on the 7th. I even dropped off my fur baby this morning at the kennel just because he is 15 and I'm not sure he could get right care at home. All of these preparations are just slamming into me like OMG. I can't remember how much Protein. I can't remember all the Vitamins I can't remember jack so I'm searching through all of my documents to remember.

Anyone else feeling so all over the place like I am right now?

Hey lady! I feel & join you in your EXCITEMENT! I have a conference call with my dietitian on Monday (she wants to see my journal and help me with my first stage of the pre-op diet). I meet my supervisor and a few co-workers on Wednesday to go over my 3 week backup plan. Not telling them what my surgery is - don't need any judgment from work : ( Started all my Vitamins a month in a half ago so that's down packed now. Just a little nervous from reading the posts of the sleevers who crossed over in the last two-three weeks regarding the gas pain : ( NEVERTHELESS - WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS! What time is your surgery Monday? Will definitely lift you up in prayer and know your surgery will be a total success! This time next year we all will be posting AMAZING transformation photos!!!!

      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.
