Still Have Until Nov 7Th But So Excited



Recommended Posts

Good morning!

Oh my goodness, last night all I could think about was being sleeved, how much my life would be changing afterwards and just how awesome (although tough) the journey will be. I didn't realize I was obsessing until I woke up this morning and as I rose from the bed I was holding my tummy like I just had surgery.. haha anyone else think I am excited or just nuts? Now only if I could actually eat as if I were already sleeved I would be all set! :lol:

Just wanted to share, since I am sure many of you may be able to relate.

Have a great day!!! :D

My surgery date has been set to Nov 5th! I totally understand what you mean. I'm excited AND nervous! I've been spending my days looking up Protein Shakes. Good luck on your surgery.

Thank you and good luck to you as well! :D

I am doing the same thing, trying to find Protein drinks also comparing notes on pre-op and post-op instructions. I know many people say that if you try Protein Drinks now you may not like them after surgery, that sucks but I think maybe if you are able to find sample packets or go somewhere that they will take the item back if you do not like it ( I think someone said GNC does this, I am not 100% sure though).

I saw that Unjury has a sample pack of 5 flavors and a shaker container and a food thermometer for $21.95. I think that's a great deal.

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

      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
