Sleeve set for Apr 19th, anyone else?



Recommended Posts

There's lots of different pre-opp diets out there. I guess it depends on what your doctor wants. I'm soooo thankful I didn't have to do the all liquid thing. I had a friend who had a bypass and she was on liquids for 2 weeks prior. Scary.

Think of all the diets we've been on..... we can do anything for a week

Wanted to check in with everybody how is everybody doing? Only FOUR DAYS LEFT! My liquid diet is going "ok" a lil better than i thought actually, the first day was the worst. My thing is I cant believe this is real....that i am actually going to get this done....I keep thinking of the procedure...the actual CUTTING of the stomach..anybody else..is that normal? Maybe just getting cold feet i dunno.

on a good note my pants are a bit loose from the liquid diet :thumbup1:

How is everybody? We made it to Friday!!! WHOO HOO! This was our busiest week ever at work, my goals for the year were due, had to take two classes on crapstuff, and STILL managed to stay on my liquid diet....go me! I have noticed though how EMOTIONAL i am about food, when i came home this week i was soooo tired and just wanted to have mac n cheese, or when i got stressed i found myself thinking about going to get comfort fooding....the journey has begun!!!

I am drinking frusion smoothies lite, Water of course and lots of the V8 Frusion lite, my doctor said it was ok to have Tomato or cream Soups as long as they were strained and diluted....got creative last night, and mixed cream of potato, cream of onion and cheddar cheese Soup, strained and added milk until i got a liquid consistency...tasted pretty good!

we have ONE more day people!!! How is everyone doing?

Ok guys nerves have set in, UGH! I have looked at my son twice today and started crying and telling him how much I love him. He is 15 months old and basically was like quit kissing me. I have a cousin who speaks negatively even in her sleep whom I had to go off on and hang up on. I basically told her I live for my son not the rest of my family and I'm not gonna do anything that I feel like may take me from him. She should worry about who her husband is sleeping with than my surgery (sorry that wasn't nice but true). Oh well still excited for tomorrow!!!!

      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
