Recommended Posts

I can't find them anywhere. Anyone know where I can get them.

I'm packing up my stuff, finished my last day at work cleaned up the office, have all my paper work in order, I took the magnesium drink so gross nothing yet but I'm sure ill be up later taking care of business. I'll head over to the hospital around 11. They called and said my time is now 2 not 1.

Cried a little so I hope its my only breakdown.

I found mine at Walgreen. Good luck! I took the magnesium stuff too, disgusting. Nothing yet but I'm starting to hear some gurgles.

I'm packed too, do you have the biotine mouth spray or oasis for dry mouth? I found that at Walgreen's too.

I found mine at Pathmark. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am for my surgery, which is scheduled for 8:30am right now. Heading to bed very soon, though not anticipating getting much sleep with my nerves being what they are right now.

I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 5:30 am. I should be thinking about sleep but that's not going to happen. I'm scared, nervous and I've got doubts running through my brain. Is this really what I have to do? Can't I just keep on the liquid diet for the rest of my life? Maybe a personal trainer and liquid diet for the rest of my life...

I found mine at Wal-mart. Just want to mention my heating pad was my bff for relieving gas. My gas was in the chest in lower back and it made a huge difference. Good luck tomorrow!

My emotions are all over the place, too. And I'm certainly having doubts and questioning what I'm doing. But I also know that I've done everything I can possible in attempting to lose the weight without medical intervention and nothing worked. I just keep telling myself this is for the best. This is the start of a new life for me!

I bought mine at Walmart. They had cinnamon and mint. You can find them with the stomach aids.

Good luck.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
