On the 11th I go from 1' date='300 cal to 1,000 cal per day. Still managing to squeeze in my favorites but in smaller amounts. I've really slacked on my Water, no good! I just ordered Isopure Zero Carb unflavored, it mixes clear so I can have it in my "clear liquids" phase. Also got some Celebrate chewable Vitamins, mandarin orange, yum. Doing all this on a budget isn't easy but worth it, requires a lot of comparison shopping. The EKG is a breeze but the Endoscopy was unpleasant. Best wishes to you & thanks for the reply.[/quote']

Hey

Budget is my middle name. I had to save my out of pocket cost ...not covered by insurance. Now that I have that out the way... I can start trying 2 find chewable vitamins and other stuff I need. I hope 2 find coupons and deals. We are still in a recession. I'm trying 2 save every dime.

I read all the posts about people's surgery being moved to an earlier time in the day. Since I was scheduled for 2:30 pm, I sure was hoping that would happen to me. So I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw the hospital's number on my caller id an hour ago. Now I'm scheduled for an 6:00am arrival and an 8:00am surgery!!!! I immediately called my ride and she didn't even blink. Now THAT'S a friend to pick you up at 4:45am and drive you an hour to the hospital. I don't think this day can get any better. Decatur, TX losers, I'll be sitting on the bench waiting for you. We're going to have a great time B)

The key to finding the best deals is research and comparing products. As to any other supplements I meet with the nurse and doctor on the 13th: I have a list of questions. Things have really added up, I've cut into my savings more than I thought I would. I've heard amazing stories from those who are post-op. In the end it will all be worth it!

This will also be my second surgery this year. I had to have my tonsills and adenoids out as part of the protocol for me. Then still had to go on a Cpap. I woke up to the sergeon telling my daughter the pain I was going to be in was at a 9 he lied. It was a 15. Lol. Good luck and think happy thoughts.

I had to change my Surgery date and surgen due to schedule conflict. New date June 20th and new surgen Dr. Garcia. I had to change surgens because the soonest Dr. Almanza could get me in was in July and I couldn't wait that long. I am still happy it is happening less the 2 weeks away. Hurray!

      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.
