Recommended Posts

Just left Target' date=' my store does not have gas-ex strips, grrr[/quote']

I got mine at albertsons but I believe Walmart cvs Walgreens have them. One thing I did forget was the biotene for dry mouth. I have read a lot of sleevers say this came in handy. Don't forget that one.

Week 1- clear liquids:protein shake, sf Jello & popsicles, broth, diet b-8 splash

Week 2 & 3 - full liquids: cream soups(no lumps or bumps), drinkable yogurt, plus stuff from week 1

Week 4- add in mashed potates, cream of wheat, grits, oatmeal

This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Pack a extension cord for your phone charger also if you have long hair braid it use a rubberband with no metal or you wake up with your hair in a mat in the back of your head.

I'm scheduled for the 25th too!! I have my broth, Protein mixes, Vitamins, and my Soups for the next phase. Still haven't packed anything. I think I am still having a hard time believing it's so close now.

Hello Klperry, I know what you mean about the date being close. Just a while ago it was July for me that's when I received my surgery date. I think everything became real last week when I went in for pre op testing.

      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. 🤞
