I just found your mango Salsa recipe, sounds delish and so do thos scallops! You have no problem with your band eating either?

Nope. Scallops are one of my favorites because it is very band friendly for me. Shrimp is not so much. Everyone is different.

Oh that mango salsa recipe was excellent, Except next time I am reducing the purple onion by half. Too much.

Hi Colleen,

I read your blog, I hope you get a surgery date for May. You sound as impatient as me lol! Once I set my mind to something I want it now! As far as I know after my psych appt. I get to see the surgeon and he makes the surgery date for me right then and there. I am so hoping for a May date. I see the nutritionist this Thurs. then the psych. the following Tues. Is this wishful thinking that I will get this done in May?

How do I get one of those weight loss ticker thingys?

It just depends on how far out your surgeon is scheduling. One dr in the practice is already scheduling June. :wacko: Hopefully you will get a close date.

to make the ticker for here: www.tickerfactory.com

I just decided to get the surgery, as well. I am really nervous about what it will be like to swallow things. I have a little bit of an anxiety thing :P. It looks like my surgery day is going to be on May 25th.

Anyone know why my ticker doesn't show up?? :huh:

        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.

      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
