I live in Katy, just West of Houston.

Chasity I grew up in Katy! I went to Hutsell Elementary and Katy Jr High. We moved right before I started high school. I went back and visited a few years ago and can't believe how much it has grown. It has become an extension of Houston now. Before it was a few subdivisions and a lot of rice fields. lol How is your pre-op going? I am craving some meat! :P

Yes Katy has changed a lot in just the 12 years I've been here LOL, I remember when we first moved here it seemed so far out now it's like nothing to drive Katy.

I'm doing okay on my pre-op diet I am not on pure liquids I have to have two Protein shakes a day and one sensible meal. Most days I am able to do that this week is my last week and unfortunately I had to go out of town for work so it's been really hard, but when I do eat I always make sure it's Protein only no carbs. I get back in town on Thursday and then my surgery is Friday I'm really scared that I may not have lost the weight I need to and that they may postpone my surgery. I don't know how strict they are about it as my doctor never said anything officially in my pre-op visit but it said it on the paperwork.

Freaking out

I find having the shake in a bowl and "drinking" it with a spoon really helps! It slows me down and I get two bowls out of one shake. It tricks my mind into thinking I'm eating Cereal.< /p>

      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.
