I've been on a preop diet for 7 days now, 3 shakes a day and a healthy choice meal for dinner. Needless to say I'M HUNGRY! lol But excited about getting the band in just 3 days!

Good luck to both of us! :smile2:

Make that Triplets!!! Me too on Thursday! I only had pre-op diet since last friday though. I am breezing through this because I had worked so hard in the last 2 months. I do have too confess though...I wish I would of had a "last meal". My birthday was Sunday and I did have a piece of b-day cake. (very small) but counted the calories in my daily log!!! What a wonderful road all 3 of us have ahead of us!!!

Good luck with your journey. It will be 3 weeks on Thursday for me. I concur....WALK, WALK, WALK after your surgery. The incision pains subsides pretty quick, but the gas pain can be challenging. I had no idea and it came as a surprise to me. So walk as much as you can for the 3-5 days following surgery. I promise you, it will help.

Best of luck to all of you!!!

Me too! I go in Thursday for banding. No pre-op diet from my doctor but I've been trying to behave. I do know I have gained weight since seeing my doctor to schedule my date.. I hope I don't get in trouble. I did ask specifically if I had to do anything pre-op and he said no just NPO after midnight Wednesday.

I have to admit I'm very nervous now.... I also have to give myself Lovenox injections for two weeks after surgery twice a day.

Good luck to all!:tongue2:

      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
