August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

I am suppose to start my two week liquid diet on July 23rd. I have not really decided what I wanted for a last meal. I love to cook so I have narrowed my choices down to Triple cheese Spinach Manicotti, Fiesta chicken Enchiladas, Creamy Zucchini Spinach Rigatoni, Lasagna or even a Chicken Fried Steak. I have alot of choices/decisions to make. HOWEVER I would give up any and all of these decisions if tomorrow was my surgery day!! I can't seem to make the clock tick faster.

Goodness, all that sounds de-lish! Have not decided on a last meal yet. We have a small pizza place in my town that rocks a club sandwich. I know that it may be a very long time before I eat bread again so I may have one of those this weekend. Next week I am starting 2 shakes a day and one mini meal of protein/veggie, NO CARBS.

Tmi, but my top 3 things are:

1) wiping my butt without trying to be a contortionist.

2) shopping in any store I want and wearing pretty clothes, and heels that don't hurt

3) just FEEL BETTER!!! Inside, out, and mentally!!

Oh man, I am SO glad to hear I'm not the only one that turns into a contortionist!

My 3 things: (there are SO many, its hard to choose just 3)

1) is mentioned above..re: bathroom cleaning...lol

2) wearing nice clothes

3) cutting my own toe nails!

      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.
