So I did by the Unjury starter pack to try them all. But I think I will supplement the glucerna with the Unjury to vary it up. My sweet hubs is gonna do the Liquid Protein and veggies at night with me. So I can have Soup with chicken or fish or beef and veggies in blender. Oh she also told me no exercise during preop. I will be on the exact diet post op for 10 days.

All along the Texas Mexico border including Ciudad Juarez. I highly recommend to dress down no jewelry no fancy stuff hundreds of innocent people have been killed in the cross fIre Don't wander off the main town. U might notice ghost towns since cartels have taken over. Be careful n best of luck

Hello October sleevers! How's everyone doing today? I'm feeling anxious and nerves are kicking in.... giving the pre op diet a trial run today. I'm not suppose to start mine till the 28th, but figured I would see how I do... so far so good... the real test will be after 4 p.m, cause that's when I usually start to get hungry!

I have to say I am excited and nervous! I got my size 14 Levis in mail today and I have to tell you, I cannot see fitting those. They look tiny! I am nervous about my pre-op diet. My hubs is taken me to dinner Friday. It is my favorite meal and restaurant in Bogota. I have pepper steak served with a side of tomatoes, red onions and blue cheese with a bit of olive oil and cracked pepper. Can't forget my glass of Argentina Malbec. So that will be my final "big" meal. Monday starts my real countdown.

Size 14??? What size are you now? I have an attic full of skinny clothes (size 14 the smallest) that are jeans and pullovers, no dated stuff with shoulderpads and peplums and such, lol. But i figure I may not get into them until next year. I am a size 2x and 20/22

I'm doing well! Down 13 lbs so far and still

Have 2 weeks to lose the other 7 prior to surgery. But I'm hoping to be down to 250 on my surgery day. I started at 280 :)

      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.
