Recommended Posts

My surgary date is August 1st. On day 6 of clear liquid diet. It's tough no doubt, but I'm a stubborn, bullheaded Irish woman and this will not defeat me, I will defeat it and become healthier for it. Let's do this everyone!!!!!

Chehalis is about an hour south of me. Once I make it through the weekend I think I'm home free. Hard to keep my mind off food on the weekend, it's what we use to do. But so far so good. Having a Protein Shake now and then I think I'll go take a walk with the dog and hubby. Good luck to you also, it's gonna be sooooooo worth it!!!

I'm a newbie to this site!!! I have a surgery date of August 22nd at 6am. From Kansas here. Started my 30 day diet on Monday the 23rd, went in for EGD yesterday the 27th and had already lost 4 pounds. I'm excited for this journey and would love to communicate with fellow sleevers.

Good luck to all of you and I hope this site can be a place to go for questions.

Congrats to you and good luck....I'm trying to learn how to use this site...kinda different. : ) LOL I have to do a 30 day diet which I'm allowed 5 Protein shakes a day and 2 Protein Bars and 2 cups of certain veggies and 1 cup of certain fruit. Surgeon is trying to decrease the size of my liver. I'm excited for this next chapter in my life.

Got out of the house and went to my daughters boyfriends baseball tournament. That helped alot. Altho on the way home I had a huge craving for a hamburger, but i fought the feeling and came home and had a Protein shake instead lol

why blow it a couple days before surgery. Take care and keep me updated on your surgery.

      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.
