Guess you were very fortunate to get into such a good program! 🤗 I was very disappointed in my program, but I don’t know if it is normally better, or if Covid disrupted everything. I had videos but they were more the psychological side of things.


I was so very fortunate and very impressed with my program at Blossom Bariatrics. They leave no stone unturned and no question unanswered.

You will be done before you know it. Had mine last week. Just know there will be discomfort as they will fill your gut with air.

I didnt know this before hand and wish someone had informed me.

My gall bladder was so bad the air/gas pain was just a mild discomfort for me.

Good morning everyone! I am on day 5 of my 12 day liquid diet. I feel great (physically) and had no idea how I would be emotionally. I am hungry and pissed. I have literally asked my spouse and children if their food taste as good as it smells...while I stare at them. I'm turning into a weirdo. Lastly, I don't fart in front of my husband. Night toots don't count and he picks on me about those! However, I am panicking about the gas and stomach pressure on the plane flying home the day after surgery. My surgery is on the 25th. This is hard.

Ask your dr about the flying right after surgery thing

For me I know I ended up needing to stay at hospital for 2 nights because of the discomfort

The wanting to eat has been getting to me while my family eats. I have to refrain as I am only 1 week post surgery. I try to occupy my mind elsewhere.

Good luck next week, yikes the day before Thanksgiving.

Thanks so much for that idea! I never heard of it before but I’ll look for it! Where do you find it?

I order it on Amazon but I’m sure you could get it at the grocery store

When I had to give up coffee for the pre op diet I was a f-Ing ray of sunshine for days. Irritability is pretty common through the liquid diet phase. Luckily I live alone and didn’t have to deal with food smells, just tv commercials.

Your doctors will give you meds for the gas and bloating which will help. I didn’t pass gas for a few days. Even if you pass gas on the plane, you aren’t going to see any of those people again. You’ll be ok.

sending positive thoughts 🥰

      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.
