Hello all,

I am happy i found this forum. I am 14 days into my liquid pre diet. I was supposed to go tomorrow but got pushed back to Wednesday the 15th.

My surgeon is George Fielding at NYU

I had no idea that gas is so bad after, I will make sure i will pick up some Gas X before I go in so I have it when i get home.

Good luck to everybody that was just banded and to all that are going in the next couple days. I know i will be back here on a daily basis calming my nerves!

Is anybody else not able to eat after surgery? I'm on day 3 and jut the thought of anything but Water makes me ill. The night after surgery I had a tiny bit of broth. And yesterday I forced down one shake. Today all I've ha so far is water. I know I need some Protein but I'm just totally not hungry at all.

I was like that. Was banded on a Monday. Didnt have the appetite to consume a Protein Shake til that Friday. Didn't wanna see anything. Could hardly drink water. I just wanted to sleep. Now I'm 9 days post op, on puree foods & starving lol

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was the same way towards the end of the pre op diet. I was having to force down my shakes.< /p>

I totally agree! It was a combination of not feeling hungry and not wanting to eat another Protein Shake the rest of my life! Believe me, though, after a week your appetite will come back with a vengeance. :)

Well that's kinda scary. I don't want my appetite to come back with a vengeance. Isn't that supposed to be one of the advantages? Having my surgery on the 24th.

I keep hearing kt will come back. That also scares me because I'm already a little paranoid about eating with this band. I worry about eating the wrong things and getting stuck.

      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
