Awaiting a call from my Drs office. She thinks August 10 th will work for my surgery. But has to check with the doctor first. He has to go over the last few tests! I REALLY hope so!!! Because after that he goes away on holidays until mid September!! And my three kids will be keeping overly bizy by then!

Good luck to you...and God Bless! I am scheduled for Auguat 22. I am still a little scared, but I am ready! Keep in touch!

I like that - Sleeve Sister. Sounds good! I'm just getting the swing of this forum. I've been a voyeur for months and am diving in. Are you on a Pre-op diet?

I start by pre-op Aug 5th. HERE WE GO!!!!! lol I spent this week weaning myself off of caffeine. OMG!!! I didn't know what an effect it had on my body. I miss the energy boost but i'd rather go thru this now than later when i'm concentrating on my new eating habits. The withdrawal headaches I had each day were torture. I went out to buy Protein Drinks and will be getting the Greek yogurt later, also (i gotta research this more - don't know much about that kind of yogurt). So much to DO!!!! How are things with you? Are you ready?

Hello Shakin! My surgeon has given me a low carb Liver Shrinking Diet. Kinda like Atkins. I wanted to get on something now, because I'm a binge-y eater and will have many LAST SUPPERS between now and then. I'm down to one small cup of coffee a day cause I know headaches are a comin' when I quit the stuff.

Greek yogurt is much richer and better than regular and you will love it.

Have you looked at any video blogs on youtube? They are awesome. People make videos and post em every week. PreOp, Post Op, what to eat, recipes. I just discovered them and feel much better about what I am getting myself into. i copied and pasted at link below. Or you can do a YouTube search on Kellawanda. She is amazing.

That's funny!!! I had been viewing videos on You Tube and hers was one that I REALLY followed. I watched so many of them. She really told the story from surgery day on. Where are you having your surgery? Just wondering if we will be close enough that you will hear me FREAKING OUT!!! lol I don't like hospitals or doctors or any of that stuff. Too bad I can't show up drunk....

        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.

      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
