As soon as I wrote University of Arizona or Alabama, I realized it was probably AU - I have a cousin who graduated from Auburn - great school!

Went to my nutritional class today and I am so pumped. I only have to do Clear Liquids the day before surgery, but they ask, not require that you control carbs/fat a couple weeks before. The only thing that upset me was no swimming for 4-6 wks. I thought they meant, actually swimming, no they mean no pool for 4-6 wks! Just when it's almost warm enough:cursing:

Hey Diane - Glad your nutrition seminar went well. I thought I had mine today - even went to it, but realized in the parking lot that it isn't until tomorrow!! Just a little bit of a brain fart there! :frown: Seem to be having them more often lately - oh well! My doctor has me do 3 days of liquid diet, but we will see what the nutritionist says tomorrow!

Hello my fellow May 22nd bandsters. Update for you all. I'm finishing up day 1 of the liquid diet, have managed to keep my hunger under control so that's good. However, worst headache ever right now, that will hopefully go away. I got my final clearance from the internist on Monday, so exciting, but at the same time found out that I have a 1cm kidney stone. NOT EXCITING. He said it's fine for now, told me what signs to watch out for when it becomes blocking, but hey, can still have surgery. Hope you are all doing well!!

My date is also May 22. I can't wait! I only have to be on preop liquids for 24 hours prior. I don't think I could do much longer! Good luck to everyone!

I just received my date of May 23. My preop testing is May 15. So far I haven't been told of when or if I have to the liquid diet. I have been looking for good liquid foods for after the sugery. It doesn't seem to be real. 12 days and counting.....:welldoneclap:

        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
