Saw my surgeon yesterday and started my Protein Shake diet today. Surgery in 14 days!!! I'm so pumped up!!!!

True Results has their own shakes and so far the chocolate one on ice is pretty good but I can tell its heavy on my stomach, blah... Lol

Good luck to all the February Bandsters!!!

Queen Bea you will get to used to the shakes. I drink Muscle Milk Light. I drink 2 a day and have a Lean Cuisine. I have 10 days until my surgery. The time goes by fast, but it is also slow because my surgery is always on my mind. I am so excited!! Good luck to you!

Hello my fellow Febs :D

I am having my surgery on Feb. 20th. On the same day my sister-in law is having my first neice by c-section. Currently the family joke is that we are having dualing abdominal surgeries. I am kinda freaked out, scared, excited, nervous and wanting to chew anything and everything. My last meal before my pre-surg liquid diet was brie, salad & rack of lamb which I INHALED and have been dreaming about for the last two days. As much as my friends and family are supportive it's so great to see people who are going through this process and know exactly whats going on. I can't wait to get great advice and support my fellow banders.

Friday, February 10th! Anxious but looking forward to it. Was the 6th but they postponed so my 2 week full liquid diet turned into 3! No problems however. I'm feeling great.

Best of Luck to all the other Feb Bandsters!

Last week I ordered the book called Bandwagon by Jean McMillen which was recommended as a good read for bariatric patients. It finally came yesterday and it looks pretty good but I will never be able to read it all in time since my surgery is in the morning and it will be a good reference to have throughout this journey. It is a thick book and looks like it covers every question you could possibly have. If interested, you can find it by going to jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com/. She is a frequent contributor to this forum too.

Wish me luck. Will let you know what it's like on the other side.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
