My fear has been realized...they cancelled my surgery at the Boca Raton Hospital...the day after my pre-op tests. The doctor agreed to schedule me at another hospital, at a slightly higher price, as long as this hospital doesn't cancel elective surgeries!

The surgeon himself called today & scheduled me for the 21st! I'm excited, nervous & dreading the 10 day liquid diet, although I did feel better when he said I could cheat occasionally with lean chicken, fish, beef or cheese. Now I pray I don't hear my husband complaining the entire time about taking me to Chicago. Thanks to everyone who has shared their experiences, it really has helped me a lot!

Good luck to everyone!!

I had my op. last thursday and today for the first time I feel hungry :) I was able to go shopping & all the pizzas, chocolates, chips around were super hard! I begin to miss solid food & being able to chew something.

I'm on my pre-op liquid diet and I went shopping yesterday to stock up on stuff for the liquid and pureed stages. The store has one-way aisles, so I had to walk through a bunch of aisles I didn't want to, and man, was it hard to walk by all of the foods I can't have anymore. To make matters worse, there was a delicious smell from the bakery wafting throughout the store.

On the upside, I discovered that sugar-free tropical Popsicles are delicious!

Good luck everyone who has their surgery today!! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

Day 3 of pre-op liquid diet (with the "op" very up in the air!) and I am scaling back on caffeine. I have 3 cups of coffee in the morning and I'm at two decafs and one caf. I have also learned that using Caramel Premier Protein as a Creamer is YUMMY! LOL

      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
