Me too I love my coffee:) So it will be hard to kick, but I think I could have a cup of Decaf with vanilla Protein Powder and the dietitian said it taste pretty good... So I'm a give that a try

I recently tried Click Espresso Mocha Protein powder & it was good! I used mostly Water, but added a splash of half & half & a little bit of cold coffee. I'm still pre-op, so not sure it will work post, but it was good & gave me the coffee hit I wanted.

Hi I'm a new member. My surgery date is June 26th. I started cutting down on my sweet tea addiction as well as starting to curb my carb intake. I guess I feel like maybe it will help with the pre op diet if I get used to depriving myself...will see. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> I've been watching tons of VSG You Tube videos. Anyone planning to document their journey that way?

I've been watching too and yes I plan to document. That's the exciting part, recording the results.

That's cool! Count down to slimmer days!

      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.
