So we went grocery shopping today. I don't start my liquid diet until august 1st but I'm going to start low carb and gluten free now. I have had a bad skin allergy all of my life. Along with diarrhea and ibs. After ruling out several things over the years, not much left to cause it, so I'm gonna give gluten free a try! Another positive about getting the surgery! Times a ticken' August sleevers!!!

I have problems with diarrhea and IBS too, and like you, a cause wasn't found. I went almost gluten free, and it seems to have helped. Hopefully it will help you too!

I'm hoping it's the cause of these horrible itchy rashes too! Maybe I'm asking too much...

Good luck with your search. Have you tried laundry detergent for sensitive skin. My mom had to change soap, fabric softener, anything that touched her skin before she figured it out.

Use All free and clear, no fabric softener, dove sensitive...blah blah blah! My mom used to have to bathe me in phisoderm when I was little or it turned into infantigo. They don't make that anymore. So...yup, itches like a S.O.B!!

Hey everyone!

I am scheduled for Aug. 1 with Dr. Barker in Dallas, TX. I am 5'5" and weigh about 274. I want to lose at least 100 lbs., hopefully 120. I just had my first consult on June 29, have my stress test and nutrition consult on July 20 and surgery scheduled for Aug 1. I am really excited, but really scared too. I am a worrier by nature! :rolleyes: I hope we all do great, and let's try to keep each other updated! So glad I found you

      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
