Dr Garcia at Mi doctor. I will sure post all the info. :) Hazel eyes that would have been great i would have loved to have a buddy. Yeah i am travelling alone. I had seen alot of post where people travel alone and the experience was great so i hope its the same for me.: :) I have a son who is on school so my hubby have to stay behind and take care of that part.

Confidence, even though you're traveling alone you sure won't be alone.. i hear the nurses and staff are really nice and friendly. We on VST will be keeping you in our prayers as well. All will be well for you.

Hey Ms Tiffany to more 8 more days left sista. Im doing the happy dance for you... Are you able to contain yourself... Is your mom excited to be going with you.. My mother is already trying to pack her suitcase and she has a whole month to go before she gets here to Florida...

I also wanted to ask you are you doing the pre op diet and if so how are you doing with that.. I am slowly but surely doing more shakes now and watching what I eat to just try and get into the routine of having different eating habits..

Hazel to be honest i have my days some days i'm like YAYY! then others im nervous and scared.. I don't think my mom is excited because shes nervous but i know that she's supportive about it and will stand behind me anyway she can. Today was my first day on the diet and oh man those Protein shakes are so gross.. i had a shake for Breakfast and lunch and (1) meal consisting of boneless chicken and salad.. if i got hungry i ate a piece of sugarless gum..

i don;t like the diet but i know i HAVE to do it you know.. what do you think about the shakes? what shakes are you drinking?

Ms Tiff i can understand about the shakes because some of them can be so nasty ooohhh my goodness. I have tried so many but what I use now is just the Lean shakes from GNC mostly the chocolate flavor. Now if I get vanilla flavor I add it with sugar free fruit juice and that makes it much better.. But they say that the Isoplus is the best a little pricey but worth it.. I do have the isoplus liquid and it is not a problem. That also comes in alot of flavors. But basically you might have to just keep on tryin other brands until you find what you like. Everyone is different. But good luck honey just make sure you are getting in all your protien because after surgery that will be your major goal everyday... :rolleyes:

      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.
