Surgery 8/1, Dreading Pre-Op Diet And New App



Recommended Posts

Mine was cancelled from yesterday to possibly the August 14th, if I get better and asthma under control! To think, I was this close to having it done. Oh well things happen for a reason.

Hey guys, just thought I would check in, My surgery went well too, the doctor actually said the word beautifully. Recovery is recovery, I am sore and stiff and a little grumpy. My stomach is also growling but it is like it is in a foreign language now. I have no idea what it means

Well, you are beautiful, and he's as art man to notice! I am with you on the growling, I have no earthly idea how to figure out what my tummy needs. I think it will just be trial and error in figuring it out. It reminds me of when my first son was born; he would scream and cry and I would keep trying things until he stopped. That's how it is for me and my new baby tummy. I think I'm starting to be able to figure out what some of the rumbles mean.

How are y'all doing with liquid and Protein? ?? My mission today was to work hard at getting my numbers in. So far I'm at 26 grams of protein and 50 oz of liquid. Yesterday my numbers were horrible, due to swallowing issues an painful gas. I'm now counting down the days until I get to move to full liquids!!!! 3Days!!!

I know what you mean about getting all the liquids in I was so proud of myself today I finished a 16oz water bottle in 2 hours. The Isopure is a little harder to drink as fast.

Here's to a better tomorrow.

Mt stomach is still talking to me in a different language. but the good news is I only really have to use my pain medicine at night. Laying down s still pretty uncomfortable. I know I am not taking in my full amount of Protein. Water wise I am golden, I sip on it all day. Moving around is better too, but it is easy to over do it. It is like one minute I am fine and the next I am over my limit and dead tired.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
