My surgery is coming up on April 20th - Anxiety kicking in - I feel like it's my first trip to Disney and I'm all in my head.

Same day, same feeling! Although I'm also stressed about this liquid diet and not losing enough weight pre-op - I need to step away from the scale, as it only shows 2 lbs lost in a week. I was hoping to lose 10 in pre-op stage.

Yesssssssssss! Tell me about it!! I'm soooooooo in my head!! I go Monday! 4/17 ... I'm on day 12 down 14 lbs and started thinking why can't I just keep doing this! I'd be happy at 180 🤪 because I know once I slip... That one time I think I'm ok....... and start eating carbs.... and breads will lead me down that addiction slippery slope!!! I already know I can't do it on my own!!!! I've tried EVERYTHING!!! I want a chance with this tool a new small tummy to start over 🤗 I'm going to work hard at it! Feed it only what it needs! Get all my fluids in! Lose as much as I can in this first year and then I might try lil treats here and there. I need to get a hold of this food addiction. 😢

I wish you all the best! 💪🏼🏼🙏🏼♥️

To all of you on your pre-op diet, great job so far and hang in there. I was you 2 weeks ago (had my surgery on 4/6). It feels like forever now, while you are in it, but surgery will be here before you know it. The first few days are hard, but I’m now on day 8 and just finished a 3 mile walk, enjoying the warm night. Everything feels easier now, despite still being in the beginning of the healing stage. Good luck to you all.

So surgery day is tomorrow (17th). Pre-op diet was a breeze but I won’t miss eating salad for a while 😄 Just wanted to say Good Luck to all the other April 17th buddies. I know there’s a few of us. Wishing you all a safe surgery 😊

      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.
