Hello Everyone! First let me say Congratulations to those that have a date! And those who are working on it, don't give up! My insurance was a complete no from the get go. So I am self pay. My hubby and I have been saving for 4 months. We are gonna make a good dent in the Care Credit loan. Having said that, my date is October 8! My birthday is October 9! What a wonderful birthday present! I am so excited. However, beware of the Last Supper Syndrome. I have been on and off with that since June when we started saving and I knew I was getting surgery. Thank the Lord above for what I am about to tell you. I have been a wreck this week because my preop diet starts a week from today, and I would be so ashamed if I gained since June when I had my initial consultation. We went last night and bought some whey Protein to start over on Monday and a scale. THANK THE LORD I AM STILL 235. I was so sick, I swore I gained over 10 lbs. This is my last weekend. And I want sushi for sure and one other luxury food before reality is here. I AM SO READY AND EXCITED FOR THE NEW ME!!! I HAVE BEEN HEAVY MY WHOLE LIFE! I SEE THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM! WOOOOHOOOOO!

I am only to suppose to do high Protein low fats/sugar for a 7 days prior then 4 days prior do clear liquid only. Not bad. I dont know if that means 3 days high protein then 4 liquids only or what but I will start 11 days out.

        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
