Hello all! Im scheduled to be sleeved on January 14th and im sooo excited for my new life to begin. I started my pre op diet today and sadly thus far am not liking the protein( upsets my stomach) thank God im allowed to eat veggies too! Good luck to everyone! !!

I have not read all the replies just yet, but try low-fat soy milk. I bought both regular skim milk and low-fat soy milk, just in case, as my surgeon said this often happens to people, especially since you are drinking it every day, and may not be aware of being lactose intolerant. I found that I do like the soy milk better, and have less stomach upset. Hope that helps.

Hi! YES' date=' my EGD is Jan 14 and my sleeve is Jan 22. I am excited although I did not know I would end up getting a sleeve a week ago. I had always sort of planned on having an RNY but my surgeon feels that at my age (24) I will do better with a sleeve. Am I correct in understanding that the weight loss rate is basically the same as RNY patients? Or like within 5% which pretty much makes it comparable in my mind.[/quote']

My surgery is Jan 22 too! I'm starting my pre op diet on the 8th. I'm really anxious and excited at the same time. What is a RNY?

Hello everyone! 29m here I am new here. I am waiting for insurance to finalize everything and I am starting to get nervous. I just mind of want it over with already the more I wait the more I start freaking out. My whole life I've been yo-yoing not few lbs but more like 90-100. I can lose it easily but have a hard time keeping it off. I feel like my body just wants to be fat. Last year I was on hcg and lost 120 lbs and the. Within a year I gained it all back. I'm so embarrassed/depressed. I hope this will work for me and help me keep it off. Do you guys have any advice? Thank you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hi :) I've yo yo'd since I was sixteen. The most I've lost is 60 on one diet. I gained it and much more. I don't have a lot of advice. I can tell you that this forum will probably be a lot of help, and support groups in your town. I am feeling scared and excited. Coming back to this forum really helped me. Support and more support!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
