Hello everyone! I had my VSG done on 11/06. Things are cool so far. I'm just curious did anyone else stare repeatedly/keep going back to the approved foods list their doctor gave them, in hopes it would magically change or hope you'd find something you missed that you could eat? The liquid stage of this is not unbearable but sometimes I'm screaming in my head " if i have to drink one more meal im gonna lose it!" But then i regain myself, drink my shake and continue on haha.

Yay! You're so close! You got this! I wish you all the luck and strength!

Sometimes its hard to take a step outside of yourself and process and self analyze. What you've said absolutely makes sense. I'm not sure I would've seen this perspective of my self for myself. Thanks.

Yes!! Thank you this is exactly how ive felt! I was starting to feel a lil sad expressing my feelings to the few i did share this with, in my personal life because, expressing this to them they kinda gave me the side eye and of course couldn't relate at all. All I've known is me at this size so trying to visualize myself as something else is kinda terrifying tbh. Am i ready to change, yes. Have i made the necessary steps to have this new life, yes. But it's still freaking scary. So thank you for making me feel more at ease with this thought process and the fact im not alone is ever so comforting.❤️

Thank you kindly for the encouraging words!

Hello all, as you can tell I'm new! I will have my VSG on Nov. 11th. I have been calm, cool, and collected on this journey thus far with my new life/goal in my sights. The day i got my surgery confirmed... The anxiety swept in. Has anyone experienced a sense of mourning the loss of the old you? Im not past the surgery yet and im afraid that i will lose myself who ive come to be, in doing this surgery. I'm ready and i want it, but im also sad. Does that make sense? I just keep thinking what if i dont recognize my reflection several months from now? I don't know if I'm making any sense lol. Hopefully im not alone thinking this. Any feedback would be appreciated!
