I’m counting also I’ve just completed my pre-op class today it’s all going so fast now 😊

I have my first of 3 appointments starting Thursday. Itll be the one that gets me most the info I need to know I'm sure. I'm still not sure what my preop diet looks like, I know I'm supposed to be buying something called Impact shakes which has me worried. I'm picky about my protien shakes! Lol

I've learned so much today my dietitian gave me a menu of what I have to eat for each meal during my pre-op diet thankfully shakes are not on the menu until after surgery 😆

Well I doubt I'm going to be that lucky! As long as I'm not on full liquid diet for as long as some of these guys say, I've seen some say 30 days! I think I'm 7 or 10 day for sure, hopefully 2 shakes a day and a specific meal. That's kinda close to what I do now.

How long are you taking off work if that applies to you?

      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.
