Me too, same as you! I'm very hungry today and clear liquids aren't doing much to aleviate that. My plan is to get as ready as I can tonight then swallow a couple of benadryls and go to bed. Have to be at the hospital at 7:45 tomorrow! I sure am excited! How about you? :)

Miss Can-Do,

I'm SO glad to hear that your surgery went well, sounds like they gave you the liquid Versid early, good! Yeah, I'm 5 days out now and still feel a bit sore but nothing like I thought I'd feel. I do get indigestion, mostly in the mornings, I have to learn to drink my liquids more slowly. Yesterday was the first day I felt any hunger, had a 1/4 cup of Tomato Soup, boy was that yummy! It took away the hunger, hope it will always be this easy!

Miss Cheryl: I'm happy to hear you're doing well too. Yesterday was my first day the stomach growling so I watered down some Tomato Soup and you're correct- It was AWESOME! haha. I didn't even get 1/4 cup down, only a couple of tbsp full. Liquids seem to be going down much easier as the days go by. So far seems we're both on the right track! We're DOING GREAT! I hope it keeps like this too, if so I'll be down to my goal weight in no time. :confused:

I'm tommorrow as well. I'm a little apprehensive but mostly just want to get on the other side of the surgery. The clear liquids are going ok but I don't much care for the affects of the magnesium citrate I had to drink.

Best of luck to all of us.

Msperson...Thats awesome. My surgeon called me Thursday and told me they had the 11th open, so I jumped on it. I have been on the liquids for only 4 days. Its all good now, the first day I was lightheaded and miserable, I just slept,lol

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
