May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

I have been watching TV the whole afternoon because today is my last "vacation day" before to come back to work tomorrow and I can not count how many food commercials I have seen!!!! I'm so happy that I'm not hungry at all with the band but media did affect me a lot before with all theirs cheese, double crust, etc commercials LOL, so my tip of the day for you pre-ops out there: do not watch TV!

My last day also, and thought the exact same thing! Im amazed at all the food commercials. I'm glad my appetite is still suppressed from surgery.

I'm pretty sure you can buy unflavoured powder Protein and mix it right into your Soup.< /p>

Yes, you can - I just bought some today that is flavorless, no added sweeteners etc. and you can just add it to whatever liquid you are consuming. I'm looking forward to having some with soup in the next couple of weeks instead of the yucky Protein Shakes from the surgeon's.... I will not miss them!!

Bb, I think it's terrible the your sisters will not support you! I myself have 2 sisters... And neither one of them want me to have this done either, because my one sister was heavy and lost a great deal if weight "the old fashion wat" she keeps telling me to do the sane! I've done that for years and yes it works for a few lbs n then all comes back! We are trying to get our selfs healthy, as I'm pretty sick and praying this will help! And my parents don't think it's a great idea but they will support me no matter what,, if you ever need to talk or vent, feel free to shoot me an email! Everyone here is great and a great support team!

It is so true!! I'm in college and during my pre-op diet I realized how much food is everywhere!! Everyone's drinking Starbucks, eating pizza, skyline, and the list goes on.. I never noticed the food until I was on my pre-op diet, it sucks but it gets easier!! The commercials are also horrible. Every other commercial is a pizza place, my favorite food!!! Lol

Hi everyone, I went to my general practioner today because my eye sight has been blurry since the surgery last Monday. Turns out I am dehydrated So, I am just putting this out there for everyone...make sure you drink your fluids and try to take in everything they tell you post surgery!

Good Luck and God Bless to those who are in surgery today..

      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.
