They like to see no polish so they can see the color of the nail beds

That makes sense. I'll take it off. Thank you

They just told me no red nail polish. They prefer French manicure if we have anything but they have nothing in the pre op paperwork about no polish.

Welp I'm wearing red polish so off it goes lol.

thank you!! I think I'm gonna have to run to target and pick that up tomorrow!

I have had my Ninja for two years and love it. What I am finding though is for now I need to puree little jobs which the Ninja is not doing so well. I am purchasing the bullet to get me through the pureed stage and it is small enough to take to work with me.

Wal mart has something like the bullet for $20 and it works good. Best $20 I've ever spent. Congrats to all being sleeved today.

The ninja I have came with 3 different sizes so it works well.

And what I did when I ate something.... like sweet potato Soup I just pureed 2 or so cups at a time and then put the soup in ice cube trays and then I put them in snack size bags in freezer marked. So then when I return to work I just pop a few out of the freezer and of I go with my little baggies of food.< /p>

I was sleeved on 2/19 and incision pain is not an issue for me. However, gas pains are still pretty severe. I am told that it takes a week or two to subside completely.

Yes just try and clear your mind and keep calm. And before you know it you will be on the other side of it. It will be rough going for a short time and then it gets better every day! I'm 11 days out and I'm feeling freaking great!

Best of luck and a speedy recovery

      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.
