I am about to have surgery soon. And would love to achieve your success. Would like to know how was your pre op diet? Any Protein shakes you would recommend? What was your starting weight? How tall are you? Where are you from? How old are you? How has the loose skins been for you? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions

Well my 2 week pre op diet was 2 shakes and a low carb meal I usually just ate a salad or meat and veggies. The Protein Shakes I recommend are body fortress from Walmart. If u mix them with unsweetened almond or soy milk it's 30 g Protein per serving and they're only $15 for a 2 lb tub. My starting weight when I went to the doc for the first time was 267 this at the start of my 6 month supervised diet. I'm 5'3 1/2 lol from Orlando. As far as loose skin... Now that I'm losing faster I do see some problem areas. I do strength training with light weights, Zumba, Pilates and I have my own recipe for moisturizing and stretch marks. This one is up in the air tho I guess only time will tell how my skin reacts but I know I'm doing all I possibly can to help it.

      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.
