Ok this is more exciting as crazy as it may seem than many if not all first dates I ever had before I got married.

So this date is the date with the rest of my life. Hopefully a start of a beautiful new relationship with me, food and well food.

I am so excited. I have no reservations or fears.. as of right now. I only told my husband the date. As it turns out my parents to my surprise are less than thrilled about my decision. This is the first time in my life I have not sought approval from my parents. It only took me 33yrs to obtain this feeling. So anyhow. I decided that I am not telling anyone in my family the date so they dont worry. I will just tell them when its done.

So now I begin starting the new me. But here is the screwed up thing about this whole process. I am over a month late. I have taken 3 test all negative so I figure its just nerves, stress ect. And here is the thing. (tell me ladies if I am wrong) I am only late when A: I want to get my tom and do whatever, or B: I have something planned. SUPRISE SUPRISE. I had decided a long time ago children is not something I want. I love my career and I dont feel I am cut out to be a parent. This is why I have 2 dogs. I love my boys more than it is probab to beconsidered normal. So if my beloved TOM does not come over the weekend I will be forced to go see my gynocologist and have him take a looksy. Yeah me. :lovechoc:

Now if you are still reading this then you are wanting to know my date. Well my date is Sept 30. I dont have to do any kind of preop stuff like liquids for 2wks before ect. Surprised? I know I was. Anyhow I just want to say thank you to all who have read this post and answered my and other prebanders questions. You truely have made a valuable contribution to those of us in the wings. It helps settle the nerves. I for one.. am gateful:smile2:

Hi Maranda,

Congrats on getting a date. As of today the 6th I am on day three of the Liquids. MY date is sept 18. I am excited for me and glad to have all the bandsters for support.

I know it is neve wracking about your TOM. I used to skip or be late when I was stressed. But at 47 going through menopause. Last night at work I was having cramps. I thought surely it has something to do with this liquids and going to start its been 8 months without. but my luck it will happen before at the day of surgery.

What do you do for a living just curious. Well got to go. Good luck and talk to you later. We wil do this together

Renea

        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
