Had to tell everyone, new date



Recommended Posts

Well, I just got off of the phone with Janet and my surgery has been moved up from July 21st, until July 9th. OMG, that's not that far away.

I am sooooooo excited. Please keep me in your prayers and I tried to copy that list of everything I will need. Only question, which is the best Protein drink?

Thank you all for your support!:clap2:

I like Body Fortress vanilla Flavor - I buy it in Wal-Mart but I can't remember the price, it's very reasonable I know that. I don't like it by itself, but it tastes REALLY good if you mix 2 scoops (40g protein) into a cup and a half of ff milk along with 3 tablespoons of sf ff chocolate pudding and 1 tablespoon of reduced fat Peanut Butter. It tastes like you're drinking a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! Mmmmmmmmmmm. While I was on my liquid diet I alternated between that and Isopure because the the yummy Protein mix is a little high in calories.

The blue carb free Isopure tastes the best of the lot IMO, but none of them are that good. Do be careful about which of the red ones you choose and a couple of them are not carb free.

Congrats on your surgery date and good luck with the liquid diet.

Myra, I remember how I felt when my doctors office called me with my date. It's a wonderful and exciting feeling. I am going on seven weeks out and loving every day of my band. Just got my first fill yesterday. Hope you have as good of luck as I did. Let us know if you have any questions that we may be able to help you with. This board was wonderful for me and still is.:)

      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. 🤞
