Having Surgery Nov 23rd DR Aceves



Recommended Posts

Congrats to both of you. Even if you don't meet anyone before your surgery, the wing you will be in is all Dr Aceves patients and so you will be able to get to know each other there. I did not know that Barb and Ursula and Maria were going to be there but we found each other and are continuing to contact each other. You will have a excellent trip/experience. If you are going alone and have questions, pm me and i will give you my email /cell and feel free to text me at any time.

I agree with Norma - I knew Ruthi was going to be there, but didn't know CYates until Lucy said "there's someone else from NV here too" and so I just knocked on her door and introduced myself.

I'm scheduled for the 23rd too, but my surgery will be here in Costa Rica. I look forward to comparing details with you all afterwards!

~ Prayers and best wishes!

Congrats. to all of you. You are gonna love your sleeve.

And those of you who are going to Dr Aceves are going to love him and Dr Campos! You won't believe how much better the care is in Mexico compared to the USA.

Good luck to you too Done! And thanks to everyone for the support. I am getting very excited. I definitely think I am gaining 5 pounds before I go though as I keep making sure to have all my favorite things I think I wont eat for a loooong time. I hope I have the effect of losing my taste for sweets, that would be great. I have been having Bagels, cream of wheat with butter and sugar, oatmeal Cookies, korean bbq, Pasta, Pho, frozen yogurt. But I do feel like I am forcing myself sometimes to eat something a little less healthy even when I would just prefer some fresh pineapple or some green tea. It is wierd. I ordered a couple books on emotional eating that I am going to start reading on the plane on the way to SD. I actually love broth of all types and tea so I hope that helps me get through the liquid phase. I dont however drink sweet drinks so I am a little worried about getting in the Protein. Anyone know of a powder that can be added to broth or tea without too much texture or flavor? most of the Protein Drinks are sweet sounds like.

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand makes an unflavored and chicken broth Protein mix.

I personally could not tolerate any of the flavors. But, most everyone around knows, that I'm way beyond picky when it comes to protein mixes/powders/drinks.

You can order samples from this following link.

Some people absolutely swear by Unjury, but it just wasn't for me.

        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
