Recommended Posts

Ok I was ecstatic yesterday that I had my date. But today reality is setting in. I cant believe I am doing this. Dont get me wrong im not backing out and I am excited but its kind of scary.

Maybe I should window shop for clothes and a bathing suit.

I looked around on pinterest at skinny cloths and fashions and youre right it does def help.

There was a thread on visual rewards and she had two glass containers. One w marbles. One marble for every pound she loses. When she loses a pound she will put that amount of marbles in the empty jar. The picture was pretty. It kind of motivated me. I think im gonna do it!

Good luck March 19th sleevers! This was my lucky day 1 year ago and I have been one lucky lady. Starting weight was 250, day of surgery 237, and my current weight is 163. I have had 0 complications. I would say the only little problem I had was my hair did fall out a little between months 6-9 but it was my fault b/c Protein Shakes get OLD but happy to tell you it stopped and I did not go bald:-) All in all this was the best decision of my life! I would do it over again in a heartbeat! Good luck and don't be nervous! It's really not a bad recovery! I took a week off from work but could of gone back in like 3 days! I have a cushy office job though... Anyways I hope this helps ease some of your anxiety:-)

Thanks for the positive post! I hope all of us 19th'rs have the same experience. I am on day 7 of the preop diet now and while I know that I really am not truly hungry (I got over that on day 4) I really want some Mexican cheese dip and chips. I'm now in the head hunger battle. 12lbs down so far on this pre op is a nice weapon to have in the battle though...

      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.
