My surgery was just scheduled for April 14th. I am excited and very nervous. For right now I will just worry about my pre-op liquid 2 week diet. Who else has to do 2 weeks?

I just got scheduled for April 22nd and I was expecting to be super excited, instead I am freaking out and second guessing my decision. I am up all night worried, can't sleep, nauseated, I can't seem to find any peace. I tried writing everything down and just want to get it off my head! I've tried watching the videos on youtube that originally inspired me but nothing seems to be working. I feel like they dragged this out way to long and it lost all its excitement about a month ago. I started my journey in June last year and was expecting a December-January date but they dragged it out so long that it lost its excitement. April is a terrible month for me because my family celebrates three birthdays this month and I will be in the hospital for my son's 17 th birthday. And six days out on my birthday. Maybe I'm self sabotaging. Nothing seems to be making feel better. But the thought of cancelling really bothers me too. I will be so disappointed if I can't get myself under control and go through with this.

Diane I'm sorry u have lost ur excitement. Maybe take some time to reflect on why u began this WLS journey and the benefits u will reap. Maybe envisioning urself at goal or envisioning having to do all the things uve been limited doing being over weight. We have 3 children one of which is my 22 year old daughter that's having VSG surgery on the same day as myself so I totally understand not wanting to miss the upcoming bday celebrations including ur own but many more bdays will come but will this opportunity be here for u next year or the year after? Idk about u but I have some health issues as a direct result of being obese and even more so than losing the weight I want those issues to go away. I hope u find something that sparks ur excitement again but in the end this is a personal decision that only u can make. Whatever u decide is best for u to have the surgery or not we all support u. Wishing u the best and if we don't speak again Happy BDay!

I think it's pretty normal to be second guessing. I am going through that too right now. As with you, I have my birthday this month as well as 3 other family members. We all Celebrate with food and I am just going to have to learn to celebrate along with them without food. I was extremely excited after my meeting at the end of February and as soon as I had my surgery date, I said oh sh**! haha....I know everything is going to go great and I just need to keep the positives in my vision instead of focusing on the negative. I started sabotaging and making excuses as to why I shouldn't. Good luck and try to keep the good stuff in your site, you can do it :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
