Yay me!! Just got my new treadmill today. I live in Tennessee where the heat and humidity are terrible, and I can't imagine trying to walk outside after surgery without passing out. What do all you June sleevers do for exercise? Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

I sleep on my right side so this is a concern for me as well. Good luck! Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

My husband still doesn't support my decision, and my surgery is in 8 days! I just keep telling myself I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing this for me. Hopefully at some point he'll be able to stand beside me and be proud of who I've become and how far along I made it. If not, that's his problem - not mine. I agree it would be much easier if he supported me though. Good luck to you! Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm thinking you will be more prepared than me for the liquid phase after surgery though. Honestly [emoji6] Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats! I'm June 3rd [emoji3] Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

Yep!! June 3rd ends life as I know it. Which is not a bad thing, I do realize that. But it's still freaking me out nonetheless. I am most worried about the pain after the surgery and how quickly I'm going to feel like going back to work. Hopefully I will be going back to work the next week, but from reading everyone else's posts it's a wait-and-see, thing. my anxiety levels are extremely high at night when I'm laying there trying to go to sleep and my mind is racing. So you are not alone... Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

I heave read many times on here ~~ if you start to fail, go back to the basics ~~ start with the liquid diet again to help you get back on track. Good luck!

I agree with the other two ladies -- in addition, I am taking Biotin since I heard about hair loss on down the road (my surgery is June 3rd). I wanted to be as prepared for that hair loss as possible! My multi vitamin, calcium citrate, and biotin are in gummy form, and my B-12 is sublingual liquid, which doesn't taste bad at all

You guys rock too!! My husband would NEVER consider doing this, so I personally think you are a badass

I know right? Sent from my LM-G710VM using BariatricPal mobile app

I am very lucky -- I only have to do a one day liquid diet, so that will be on Sunday, June 2nd

I am having VSG on June 3rd, and I have read all these May 2019 posts, and you ladies are rockstars!! So inspirational, and informative, about what I need to expect in just a few days now... Best wishes to you all!!

My VSG is scheduled June 3rd, and I am also in "full panic" mode.. But I am taking the advice of many others... just BREATHE... We got this!
