Recommended Posts

I set June 22,2013 in Tijuana. Same day surgery, because I did not want to sit around and get scared about it. I'm excited, two months will fly by.

Did u already do your visits with your primary care doctor? I know that i am with Cigna and I had to hve that dne also. If u hve already had that dne it shouldn't take that long, just let the people know that are running the tests that you would like ur results forwarded to the insurance company or to the surgeons office asap

I responded to this earlier under Yahoo but I just see where it didn't deliver -

Congratulations! I'm happy for you. How much have you lost so far? I had it

on last Wednesday 8/21/2013 when I had my gall bladder removed. Can you

give me some suggestions for some good liquid Protein? Or maybe a shake

that you can't smell the Protein? I did pretty good with the Protein shakes before surgery, but they are not good now.

Thanks! I hve lost about 30 lbs so far! The Protein that worlds best for me is Unjury, it was recommended by my nutritionist, it's a little on the expensive side but it works the best for me. I only know for it to be sold on the Unjury.com website and they ship pretty fast also. They hve large containers or packets that I can buy to try. The unflavored protein I normally drink with OJ, and like a V-8 juice. And u can almost not taste anything! I love it. That's the only thing I've used for protein. They also hve a strawberry sorbet that is pretty good also. I also have some chocolate Splenda that I haven't tried that u mix with milk, but I do the unflavored every day sometimes twice a day. Oh btw sugar free Popsicles are the best when just gettin started. Makes u feel a little normal. Congrats!! Ask me anything at anytime!! :-)

Wow 30 pounds in 2 months is great!!! Keep up the great work! Thanks, I'll check out unjury.com today because I really want to make sure I get in my Protein. Well after Wednesday I can start pureed foods so did you mix protein with your pureed food? Yes, I was so happy when I found out about sugar free popsicles. They've been my saving grace - Lol. Have you been to any support group meetings in Durham? If so, when & where are they held? I had my surgery done in Cary but I don't really want to drive there for meetings.

Yes! U can mix the Protein with ur purée foods you just want to make sure that when u mix them the food temp is not more than 160 degrees or it won't mix well. I have not been to a group yet, but I know that there is on in Durham, u can check the website for duke.com I think and they will let u know the day and time, but I think it's only one day a month. Good luck with the purée foods!! Enjoy!

      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.
