    I was initial bmi of 37 at 225 now 1 day before surgery at 222. Sometimes I don't feel fat enough to get this surgery, it wakes me up at but that wondering if this is really what I need to do. But I've been up and down my whole life, mostly up. I've tried losing weight for the past year with no success. Are you struggling with the can't I lose it without surgery questions? I some days I am and some days not, I hope tomorrow this questioning is over with. Good luck on your journey too!

    My VSG surgery is scheduled for 2 days from now. I lost my voice and have a horrible sore throat for 3 days, I went to the express care and rapid steep test was negative. I'm exhausted from being in the preop diet and not eating, and can't sleep from the throat pain. I am so angry and confused. Should i postpone the surgery? My husband and I have already scheduled off work and childcare for my kids. I have done entire week of preop diet. I am torn because I want to have the surgery and have everything in line and have worked so hard.

    I am on day 4 and couldn't handle it, I have a sore throats and got no sleep last night. I had a cup of warm cream of chicken Soup. I hope that isn't major cheating but I felt like I was going to pass out on the Optifast alone. I tried calling my NUT but she was busy and hasn't called me back. Is this a major fail? Has this happened to anyone else on shakes or Optifast only 4 days in? ☹️

    Sorry you are sick. I have a very sore throat and have surgery schedule for 4 days from now. Hoping it doesn't turn into anything worse by then. The dr office told me if it's a cold without fever they will still most likely do the surgery but any sort of infection will postpone the surgery. I hope not, I can only image coughing with a tender and swollen abdomen. You still have almost 2 weeks so think you should be good to go by then. Good luck!!

    I'm on day 3 (end of day 3) of the preop and I'm starving. I have never gone this long without food. I have 4 Protein Shakes daily and 1 Protein Bar. And drinking a ton of Water, crystal lite, broth etc. I'm thinking about calling the office tomorrow and asking if there's anything else I can have maybe some lean chicken or anything. Can I fail the preop diet??? I am kinda joking but I still have the whole weekend and Monday to go. I'm so hungry it physically hurts [emoji53]

    Your story is similar to me, (except for lap band part) I have been up and down, now at my heaviest bmi ever (37). My hubby doesn't think the surgery is necessary but I am sick of the up and down and fear the older I get weight will only continue to pack on. I am 37 now and ready for this change. I am scheduled for sleeve in 5 days, I will try to let you know how it goes for me. Good luck, everyone has to choose best option for them. I truly feel I need this for my forever health and my family's health.

    Hello! I am 1 week til my surgery (VSG). I am totally consumed by thoughts of this surgery. I can't concentrate on work or really anything. I have general anxiety and this upcoming life change is really doing a number on me. To add, I began my 1 week preop liquid diet today and feel starving and it's only 8:47am. Any advice to settle my thoughts and he through this til the big day?
