I hope you find someone:) I just wanted to say good luck. I was sleeved by Dr Kelly on 3/9 and it has been great from day 1. I never had pain, nausea, haven't been immune to the stalls but I have lost 33 lbs so far!

Thanks DDFinn, congrats on the weight loss! I'm hoping mine comes off quickly too
:)

sam74, I see you're from NC too! Maybe we will run into each other between the hospital and the Lucerna. Good luck!

sherlee, I hope so. Yep, I started it last Tuesday. I am staying hungry all the time but I've lost 7 lbs. V-8 juice is my new BFF this week and I made a puree (gerber stage 1 consistency) that was pretty dang good- dice 1 sm vidalia onion, stir in hot pan to get sweatin', add 2 chopped squash, black pepper, Water, & a little Swanson chicken broth packet. Cook til tender and puree the heck out of it-enough for 2-3 meals. What have you tried out so far?

How is the pre op going? Any new recipes? A smoothie King Just opened up down the street do I have been doing a gladiator drink everyday for lunch which is 45 g Protein and 2g carb. I just got my necktie sample yesterday so I will start to try them. I have been taking it one meal at a time, can't think about dinner or how much longer when it if only Breakfast. The time is getting close very fast.

Thanks, It's going good, I'm down 11.4lbs. I slightly cheated today though. I had a kids 4pc grilled chicken nugget from Chick-fil-a which are 80 cal, 1 fat gram (plus an applesauce pouch & apple juice on my preop list). I don't show any smoothie Kings near me, their smoothies looks good online and 45grams are a plus! My mama bought me a Ninja 1200 for mother's day so I'm sure I'll be coming up with something this week :). I'm thinking mashed califlower w/ a little chicken broth or skim milk would be good. I made a 8oz skim milk w/ 2 scoops of chocolate powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury for Breakfast which is 40grams. I tried the vanilla but blah, possibly since I added unsweetened frozen raspberries, very gritty. The Unjury chicken Soup mixed with Swanson flavor boost & warm Water is ok but the foam on top is umm...unappetizing though palatable. What's a necktie sample?

I know I'm so excited it's almost here! My daughter gave me her souvie request list already lol. She broke her foot at school Thursday so I'm gonna be getting my exercise pushing her around until then. Are you ready?!

Ok, Reese and Crystal what have you been eating? I panicked today because I had been doing Protein Shakes and throwing fresh fruit in them with skim milk and now I am not sure that is allowed. My hubby made me homemade chicken broth for dinner that I am going to eat and I ate yogurt and creamy Tomato Soup for lunch but I just hope that I interpreted the pre op directions correctly. I need a piece of mind because I really want my liver in good condition for surgery. I still have 8 days to get it right.

sherlee, I had a Protein shake for Breakfast, a few spoons of fat free refried Beans for lunch, and wonton broth from the hibatchi restaurant for supper. I'm probably going to have a Fiber one key lime yogurt for snack. I haven't tried it yet, but I bought a butternut squash healthy choice Soup for lunch tomorrow. It looked pureed on the picture. I'm seriously tempted to buy some fruit baby food.

tsleeve & reese, good luck to both of ya'll and maybe I'll see you there.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
