Hey August Sleevers! Put Me On Your List! Aaahroo!



Recommended Posts

Its great to see so many new pre-sleevers here. As we round out week 2 my thoughts go out to all of you that went before us. I can't wait to hear about your experiences....I've been watching every VSG journey I can find on 'YOUTUBE'. I have literally subscribed to over 100 Vsg vlogger channels. I ask questions and offer support...but no one elses story will compare...to our own.

Next week is my week...I'm excited and nervous. No pre-op diet(yea!) But I'll be NPO after midnight on 8/14. I work as a nurse at the hospital where my surgery will be performed, so I'll be getting off work at 7:30am and returning to preop at 9a. I find it better to keep my mind occupied at work than to sit at home and worry all night. I've been doing some last min. shopping and lots of housecleaning.My Dr says he wants me walkingin the halls within 2hrs after I'm out of surgery...I told him "GameOn"

Good Morning!! I hope everyone will have a great day!! Another day has come and passed, which brings us closer to our day of our life changing event!! I am so excited, I am absolutely buzzing about. I am now on day 4 of my liquid diet as of today. Almost a week has gone by, and I am proud as I have not done any cheating. In fact, I haven't had any cravings for items. I simply eat when I am hungry, Protein Shakes and Soup, and the wonderful pureed baby food, 'yum'. lol Well not really yum, but it gets the job done. I hope everyone does well with their diets, and off to a new and better life. Just imagine, next year at this same time, we will be thinking back to now, and remembering all the things we went through, what we had achieved, gained and lost. It will be a surreal, and powerful moment in our lives. One to cherish and remember, now that is one massive achievement!!

Hello sleevers,

I have seen on some sites where many people have developed headaches. I myself never received them. Maybe it's because I never ate that much sugar? I just wanted to congratulate all those that have joined and welcome them to the group. :)

Happy Saturday to all :)

Good Morning sleevers!!

I Hope everyone will have a gorgeous day today. For some, it is time for their sleeve, and for others, the days are counting down. :) For those who are having their sleeves today, and this week, tons of luck and hugs to you all. I hope your surgeries are a super success. :) My surgery day is creeping up rather fast, and I am very excited.

Good thoughts to all, stay positive, the results will pay off!! :)

Hugs,

Alia

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
