Good luck! As someone who was super nervous and as now a week and 1/2 out, I can say you'll be fine! Stay positive!

11/5/15 VSG

Holy crap. The lion's share of the discomfort was the drain. Removing that thing makes a HUGE difference. Just thought I'd share in case anyone out there reads this and is curious. :)

Thanks all! The liquid has begun. So crazy how even a sip of water feels so different now. I knew this was going to change my relationship with food, but on day 1? Crazy! Curious how long the soreness from incisions lasted for folks?

@angiemollison308 - you will be great. i got myself so worked up one night at 3am laying in bed that i thought i was going to throw up. just focus on the positives as the date/time gets closer and take it one step at a time. look for positive experiences to read about on these boards. granted there's some not-so-good stuff…

Thanks everybody! I made it through. No nausea/vomiting from the anesthesia! Woo hoo! Been walking around on the hour to get this CO2 gas out of my body and relieve the pressure. 2x so far. Dying for some ice chips. Hopefully I'll get something to wet my whistle but it's tolerable in the mean time. So happy that things…

I posted something like this days ago. Freaking out and 2nd thoughts are normal (from what I hear lol). Focusing on the positives is what is getting me through. Don't start reading the minority of folk's horror stories. I started doing that and thinking the worst and it made me way to stressed out. It will be a unique…

Thanks all! IV in and just waiting for 3pm CST to arrive for the big event. Thank you for all the well wishes they help (well, that and the clonezapam they gave me for nerves). B) I'll check back in when I'm lucid again later. Thanks again!

@rpyle111 - thank you. It's great to hear. Big day is tomorrow!

Thank you. I appreciate all this. Trying to keep a good mind set despite the worry.

Looking great!

@RENAEJAE - I've researched that stuff. Thinking about getting some

Huh. So right idea, wrong method. Thanks all!

Congrats! Going for my VSG on 11/5. The time goes surprisingly fast between when you schedule and when it arrives.

Same to you kimgravett3! I've done crash diets before and didn't have a problem. I think this feels harder because you're told you HAVE to. Time for some self-therapy on that! And yes, crepes_, distractions are fantastic! However the Food Network is probably not a great choice. Figured that out last night when I…

Thanks everyone! One day down!
