Hi Marion,

Silly typo!! :thumbup: I'm supposed to do 2 weeks with 4 shakes and one light meal of 4 oz. lean Protein, salad + 2 fruits per day! Not as bad as other pre-op diets I've been hearing.

Enjoy the weekend!!!

Hi Marion,

I'm ready!!! I've got to get all supplies ready so I don't have to worry about having the right stuff in the house.

So you are going into your Winter months? Cold and rainy? How cold does it get in winter? We are having our 1st spring heat wave. Hazy, Hot and Humid for 3 days!! We had a Frost warning 2 weeks ago, below freezing.

Yep winter here ...June /July and August... we don`t have all that cold weather (well cold enough lol) but no snow we are along the coast I would say maybe down to 3deg Cel of a night and maybe 18 to 20 during the days somedays a little higher or lower ..can`t really say for sure these days we have such changes ...

I hate the summer and the winter am more of a spring and Autumn / fall person :o

Just finished dinner and am waiting to be able to have a drink ..thats the hardest part for me so I come check my mail while I wait....House work all done and I am looking forward to FRIDAY tomorrow ..I do have to take my Mum to see the heart specialist at 1pm but thats o.k will still get a bit of a sleep in .. :thumbup:

I hope you have a great Thursday I am glad mine is almost over....

What does your pre-Op diet consist of I was alowed to have with my Optifast some veggies and salads, fruits and sugar free Jelly (jello) NO coffee that was a killer but I also only had 9 days of it as my booking was made on my first visit and very quick.. :)

Night from me ...

Chat later...NOT LONG now......whoo !!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
