Hey , I'm in Anna and I am having my surgery Nov 20 with Dr.Kim . I'm self pay , so I'm nervous about having the surgery and how much I'm paying . I have been struggling with my weight since I was 5 years old . I would love to have a group to share my joys and fears with . Seems like my friends are not around right now and my husband says he is supportive , but doesn't really understand what I'm feeling .

I was self pay to and i think that's why i have been so successful at my weight loss!I knew how much it was costing me and my family! Anytime you need some advice or conversation let me know!

I've been doing the carnation Breakfast with one raw egg and a banana in a blender.That is 40 grams of Protein but your body will not take but about 20 grams at once so i just sip on that threw breakfast and lunch.I stopped doing that because i eat enough to get my protein along with drinking a muscle milk everyday.

Vitamin Shoppe has one called Protein Blitz. It's good and is sweet tasting.

GNC has one called GNC Total Lean. I like the ready made chocolate and vanilla. These are probably best for pre-surgery or week 2 full liquids.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
