...I have had to go in first week checkup, 3 week check up (due to being dehyrdrated the first week), 1 month, and now this coming week 2 month check up because I am still dehydrated...I do think it is a $$ racket for many dr/nut. I hope I won't have to go back til 6 months, but I bet they will tell me to come back for a 3 month check up...

My nut is very upset with me; I spent $100s on various shakes/powders - I just can't stomach them at all, so I am getting my Protein in by food & I'm not getting 70 grams every day. I told my nut I just couldn't keep up spending the $$$ on trying to find a shake - if I liked shakes, I would have never needed the surgery in the first place. She didn't like my answer, but I figured I better be honest with her. I am not getting in 64 oz Fluid, either, I really try, but it still becomes very uncomfortable. I broke her 'rules' - I use a straw to try to drink more so I am not dehydrated, but hasn't worked yet...so my nut is upset with my honesty. I think if I lied about the Protein & Water - she'd be happy.

My NUT is nice, so far! The only problem I have with her is she is about a size 0! It's hard to take someone seriously on food when she looks like she is anorexic!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
