Recommended Posts

Meeeeeee!! I’m booked for March 22nd too! Last time I booked I got cold feet and backed out (as it turns out it would have gotten cancelled anyway because we went into a 4 month lockdown that week) but this time I feel more confident and comfortable with my decision so it’s going ahead.
I’m starting a low carb diet this weekend until the day before surgery when it’s a liquid diet only for 24 hours. I’m starting from a “lower” BMI (26.6) and all my bloods looked great so my surgeon said I didn’t have to do the 2 week Meal Replacement diet thank goodness!

Where abouts are you having your surgery? I’m in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

I’m in Los Angeles! My surgery was initially for December 14 but it was canceled with the Covid surge.. canceled like literally a few days before I was supposed to go in 😢. I was so desperate actually found a doctor in another state and almost had it there but a few days before that surgery my doctor here in Los Angeles called and said that hospitals are open again for non emergency surgeries! So I’m relieved 😌 my liquid diet is two weeks (according to the lady at my surgeons office)although my dietitian said to do one week. So I’m not looking forward to having to do all that again

I am almost with ya. I’m March 24th.

arrington0711 I am close by. I’m in Orange County.

I went through Kaiser so I had to do months and months of classes. Surgeries were canceled right when I finished in December and I am FINALLY moving along again. I’m lucky that I continued to lose. I have the really strict dr and I’ve heard he will not schedule you if you gain weight 😬

GM Everyone! I’m scheduled for bypass this morning at 9 and I’m super nervous as this is my 2nd time around...my sleeve in 2018 wasn’t successful. I’m wishing you all a speedy and safe surgery and recovery! I’m looking forward to OUR progress this year! ☺️

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
