Hello everyone

I finally decided to register for the site after the lastfew months of just stopping by.

I started myadventure around December/January this year and have taken forever. Most of myissues came when my insurance company let me know they were missing thingsafter they get submitted but oh well I guess that’s the way they are. I couldgo down a long list of problems I had in the process but needless to say I havemy procedure on 8/23/2011 @ 0800. Sometimes I feel I want to jump forward intime to have it all done and be skinny again and able to go running and then Iwake up lol.

I have been on the liquid diet my Doctor put me on for twoweeks which was broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jell-O, juices, and notto forget my Protein Shakes which is 52g @ 320cal twice a day. I have messed upand ate some chicken noodle Soup 3 times and a couple bites of cottage cheese, but all in all I’m hoping its ok, granted after that I’m thinking to myself “didyou really need that”.

Still two more days plus a couple days in hospital, thenvacation for two weeks if we can call it a vacation L

Hi there! You get sleeved the day before me! I also started early Jan, and the process was slower than I would have liked, but that was due to some well, incompetence on the part of my surgeon's staff.

There's a sub-forum for August Sleevers, you should stop in:

And the liquid diet sucks. I have a 2 week pre-op liquid diet and I'm so ready for the post-op when I get a few extra's (creamy Soup, yogurt, yum!)

Morning All

Hi Kami, I hope all goes well

Guess its off to Walmart to find me something for the next couple days along with some slippers or something to wear.

On a side note I wish I had read closer about the Stntrax packets having no fat or carbs sooner and almost the same Protein. I would have ordered a sampler sooner and probably lost a few more pounds, better late than never I guess.

I could probably look through here and find this but how long did most wait till they went bike riding or exercising, a week?

      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.
