Good luck to everyone of us this month who is having surgery. I am scheduled to have my surgery first thing Wednesday morning. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am. Hopefully I will be home on Thursday night around 5pm. I am nervous looking forward to eating real food again. I have been on 3 weeks of protien shankes I will know my exact weight tomorrow when I go in for my final weigh in.

What Multivitamins is everyone going to take after surgery. I am going to buy some tomorrow night. I need to call everyone in my family just to give them an update.

Hopefully this time on Wednesday I will be in recovery or in my room.

My surgery is 4/18 and I am so nervous. I am über prepared, I made a huge pot of turkey bean Soup, puréed, frozen and ready to go. I take the Bariatric fusion Vitamins ans really like them. It's simple. One pill 3x per day.

I ordered the chewable complete MVI from Celebrate in forest berry. They're expensive but I thought for the first month after surgery they would be important. They kind of just dissolve in your mouth. The dietitian just said to not get a Gummy and do a chewable that says "complete." Flintstones makes one, but I don't like them.. Good luck everyone!

Bad Request

There was an error in your request.

(none)

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to not be starving? I actually want to cry, I'm so hungry! I can't do this for 2 weeks. :'-(

Drink lots of fluids I make a pitcher of crystal light (or any type of sugar free kool aid) and a pitcher of Water. I alternate drinking one then the next one. I get in about a gallon of Water in a day. I have given up sodas for the most part for about 2 months now. I have one every now and then but try and stay away from it.

When I get hungry I drink a glass or water or crystal light. If I am still hungry I drink a teaspoon of pickle juice or banana pepper juice to give me some flavor. It is not that bad and it wont hurt you. Be strong remember we need to get out livers as small as possible so the doctor has plenty of room to work.

      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
