I'm doing pretty good. I'm nervous. Not for the surgery but I respect it's a big life change. I am so excited to get my old body back before my accidents. I think I have almost all of my meal prepping done for after the surgery. My biggest struggle is everything is sweet and I'm not a big sweet eater. Thank you for asking.

im good but I just got a call from my surgeon office saying that my primary doc has not sent his clearance letter yet!! mind you I saw him on oct 17 th and he told me all was well and he just wanted me to make sure he gets sent the bloodwork results, he was also telling me he was unsure if he could do the pulmonary clearance since he know of my sleep apnea and cpat usage being good and I am compliant with the usage. Turned out I did need a pulmonary specialist so I went to one the same day as I did the bloodwork ,fast forward they sent my primary the results yesterday , so he has everyone's report to send the clearance letter but...…… I just called his office and was told they do see the results from pulmonary but he out of the office til Monday and Monday is my surgery date OMG what do I do....?????

Thanks. Miserable night trying to get comfortable but feeling a little better this morning. Gas is slowly reducing. Pain is manageable and looking forward to getting better and better. Good luck to all going in today.

Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Most definitely I’m still uncomfortable at time but not in any real pain popsicles and electrolytes Water has been my savior I’m not really liking the Protein Shakes anymore right now but my hardest part is not sleeping on my side and stomach due to that’s how I sleep so hard so I wake up a lot sore from that but each day is getting better and better it’s definitely going to get easier each day hope you are feeling better to and good job with walking it helps too a lot

Day five post op...

Quick question for you, at 5 days out, do you think you could go to a movie theater and watch a movie?

Reason I ask is a friend of mine is doing a talk at the local movie theater and I'd like to go but I'm not sure that 5 days after my surgery I'd be able to go...

Thank you,

I've already come to terms with that. Although I agree that the smell may bother me in a new way...we shall see.

Hello everybody, i am officially on my 2 week pre-op liquid diet as of yesterday and this is so hard. I did eat a bite-size snickers today. I’m trying to take this one day at a time and not beat myself up about. I’m having the worse Migraine as well, but I’m keeping myself motivated because I’m becoming a little scared.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
