surgery on the 30th!!



Recommended Posts

i just met with my surgeon on wednesday, and next wednesday is surgery. so soon!

i was told to go on a pre-op diet for two weeks, and i messed up big time. i went in panic mode or something and started eating all the things i would never be able to eat again, at least not a full meal of it. yeah, i failed already, but i'm not discouraged just yet.

i know i can stick to "the rules" when i'm banded, even when i already messed up.

anyway, i'm excited for next week!

My surgery is also scheduled for April 30th.:cry_smile: I've been on the pre-op diet for almost two weeks and although it's been tough at times I have been able to stick with it, I think my only saving grace was that I was allowed to have one sensible meal.

Good Luck!:rolleyes2:

aw, you're my surgery twin. hehe.

i'm actually allowed to have two meals a day. i don't know why i couldn't even stick with that. i've been doing like one healthy meal, or one Protein shake, and then burger and fries from mcdonalds. it was totally bad, but i've been doing better now that it's closer to surgery. i know it's to benefit me and make surgery go smoother.

Two more days!!! How are you two doing? I go in waves of nerves but still very excited. I'm in Detroit and live about 1 mile from the hospital so fortunately I don't have far to go.

I have been kind of nervous all weekend. I am ready to get it done so I can stop worrying about it already. My pre-op diet has been great. I had to do Atkins so thats been pretty simple. I am so glad that I didn't have to do the liquid diet. I fly to Denver tomorrow @ noon. And I'll fly back on Thursday afternoon. So I am a little nervous about going without my husband but he has to stay with the kids. After reading this site for 2 months a lot of people say it's not that bad. So I am really hoping I am one of those people. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Good luck to all of us. I look forward to seeing how well everyone is doing.

        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
