Hi!!! It went well . My nutricionist spoke to me about portioning what I eat and learning how to eat before and after surgery. She said its very important that I understand what I'm getting myself into because a lot of mess up after surgery because they don't learn to eat little and eat whole grains and lots of fruits and veggies . Basically asked me which surgery I was looking to get I said VSG. She also spoke to me about my eating habits how many times I eat this how many times I eat that. I was also weighed and got my blood pressure done . So I have 4 more visits before they submit to insurance . Ugh I wish this was over with , it's very overwhelming :(

My weight management appointments have been with my surgeons nurse prac. whom I love! First appointment was a quick chat, weigh in, and then came the homework. food dairy and going to the gym 7 days a week. Yikes! Won't lie that didn't happen. The second appointment was another weigh in and mostly chatting about caloric intake, carbs, Protein, fats. Pretty much a nutrition class.. Last appointment in 2 weeks! Can't wait! We honestly talked about me not losing too much weight (borderline BMI 42) during this process just understanding and thinking about food choices and starting to exercise!

        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
