Calling all April 2013 Sleevers going to Mexico!



Recommended Posts

I am confused with my pre op diet. I ordered the pre op package through OCC but that is for 15 days. I was under the understanding that I didn't have to diet for 15 days. Hmmm. Any suggestions on this. I have a low bMI

sheri3388 - I would call Lori or Carolyn and ask. Patients have different pre-op requirements depending on the doctor and their weight.

I have to do 2 weeks of 2 Protein shakes a day and a protein/salad for dinner' date=' then 3 days prior to surgery I have to be on Clear Liquids and take a daily laxative. Water and yogurt sounds much better :P[/quote']

I have tummy trouble with stuff like yogurt, so I actually would prefer the clear liquids. Which im thinking like broths? Im going to ask if I can mix it up between the two. Im wondering if yogurt because it has Probiotics in it. That could be to help the bathroom issues?

      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.
