I'm scheduled for my surgery on Wednesday April 9th. The longest year is finally coming to and end.... and life is beginning anew! Skinny thoughts run through my mind from the moment I wake up until my head hits the pillow (bet I dream about it too!) :thumbup:

What I don't get, is why I've lost 9 lbs for no reason?!

Good Morning Avengers!

I hope everyone is having a great day! I am starting day three of the lovely low carb liquid pre-op diet. I have surgery on Friday at 2:30 - I am getting excited! I can't wait to lose weight! I bought a DietMinder journal for food and fitness at Barnes and Noble yesterday. It's seems like it will be a great tool to keep me on track!

I am getting excited and nervous. I am doing ok with the liquids. This is day three and I am still fighting hunger. I havent cheated although yesterday I took a nap to get my mind off of the hunger! I went to the store and bought some different types of Soups that are relatively low in carbs so hopefully it will get better! I went walking for 30 minutes - half downhill and half uphill. I was winded but kept going! I can't wait to see where we all are this time next year!!

ColoradoChick: Good for you! It will be fun to see how we all progress. I can hardly wait! I see the surgeon tomorrow and that will be the last visit until surgery. WOO HOO! You know, Jello can help with the chewing and the feeling of having something solid. I am worried about this part. Not that anyone ever died from their preop diet, but I work 12 hour shifts and am worried about being able to sustain myself that long without any real food! I'm sure it will be fine though. Maybe all those hours will be a distraction! LOL

I am scheduled for April 9th. I am excited and anxious. My goal over the next ten days of pre-op diet is to be nice to my family despite my lack of caffeine and impending hunger. Go April!!!

Hi all April Avengers!!! I have 4 days until the big day. I am soo excited. I am home this week on Spring Break. I have to keep busy this week so I won't get nervous. So far, I am not nervous at all just excited. The liquid diet is going well. I have been on it for a little over a week. I can tell my tummy is shrinking because it is hard to get all the liquids in now. Good luck to everyone!

Bethanycot lets chat . How are your nerves so far? The first day I got the news I was approved all I felt was excitement but then I felt nervous. I hope this is the answer to help me stop this love affair I have with food. I am excited but the UNKOWN still haunts me a little.

      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.
