My VSG is scheduled for January 7th, 2019. I have to get it done before school starts up, which is January 14th. Is anyone else celebrating getting a surgery date like I am!?

Congratulations! That’s an amazing feeling, isn’t it!? I remember when I got my surgery date I was literally glowing for like two days straight, I could almost compare it to when my husband proposed to me, haha. Is that silly?

Getting responses makes my feelings so valid!! Proud of your decision and good luck! You’ll be a day older than me! Lol

Not at all!! When you’ve lived part of your life with extra weight that keeps you from feeling great and being the best you can be definitely falls into one of the biggest and best decisions of your life!! Great luck to you and stay positive!!

So my surgery is in 3 days and I just started to get really nervous! I have an anxiety disorder to begin with so it’s more than normal nerves. I’m like shaking. I am excited though - gotta work through this! I’ve cleaned and organized my whole house...my husband asked if I was pregnant and nesting! Lol. Just want everything in order before so it’s not driving me crazy while I’m recovering.

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm getting nervous, too! I've never had surgery so I really don't know what to expect. y team has told me what to expect, but I'm still a little nervous.

Also, are we the same person?! I've been cleaning house like crazy for the past week and yesterday I thought about how it seems like I'm nesting ?

We’re alway nervous and fearful of the unknown, and this is very foreign to most. Don’t be nervous. Nothing bad will happen to you. Your are embarking on a new chapter in your life. The new and healthier you.

Day 1 of liquid diet, its a bit tough hopefully i can make it for the next 13 days, but im determined to get through it the days almost over

January 10th. Nervous and excited. Embarrassed to say I’m hungry too. This pre op diet is rough.

Which day was the toughest for you?

Thanks, Johnny! You're right. I'm nervous, but very excited for this change.

It's hard at first, but you can do it! It gets easier. I'm on the last day and pretty much have no appetite. Today I'm supposed to drink 2 bottles of Isopure, but I haven't even made it through 1.

I’m on day 1 of fasting. It’s terrible. Thursday cannot come quick enough.

I had 3 priemer meal replacement so far they told me to do 4 shakes a day. They are not too bad. Will power
