I leave for Tijuana (sp) on Monday, August 1st. Right now I'm trying to go two days on liquids. I've lasted about 3 hours, and all I wanna do is eat. This sucks. Anyone wanna talk?

COme on now- you can do it! You really truely can do it!! You need to definetly change your everyday routine & pronto. Thats what s hard. Start a scapebook project or yardwork or walk or reorganize something. Go through some junk & prepare for a garage sale. Find something to get yourself preoccupied without thinking of food.< /p>

My two full weeks of liquids was soooo stinking hard but I just keep thinking that I was shrinking my liver & it would help the surgeon to do a better procedure on me. Guess what it did! He said I had no fat around my liver & that the extra 7 pds I lost during those two weeks really helped. Be determined more today than yesterday & more focused tomorrow. Yes- I messed up two days during my liquid phase but I got right back on that horse & tamed it! You can do the same! Just think of all the extra weight you'll lose!

One other great think to pass time is paint - not arty paint but paint a room a whole new color!! Its a hard project & a time consumiong one- I hate painting rooms but once you start you have no choice but to finish it;0) Can't wait to hear of your success- You'll do just awesome-really!!!

Yup, room painting is a great time consumer! Of course, I love to paint rooms, love everything except the prep part. Oh, just a hint, TSP will eat your acrylic nails, so use gloves.

pack for your trip, then unpack and remove half the things you think will need. (I always overpack for everything...)

Pick up a new hobbie.

Sort your clothes by size, if you haven't done that already. You will soon be able to let your "fat" clothes go. You will soon need to find your "skinny" clothes you haven't worn in years.

This one I consider very important. Write yourself a very long letter. Examine why you are doing this, examine what head issues you have. Write what you are going through right now, what your day is like, huffing and puffing, difficulty doing things. Stuff like needing seatbelt extenders when you fly. Write all these things down so that you will know how far you have come on your journey. Give yourself sign posts, mile markers.

Take a before picture!!!

        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
