July 1 sleevers- are we getting ready?



Recommended Posts

I picked up a Ninja at Target for $50. Probably doesn't have all the bells and whistles but I works for me. :)

Everyone seemed so excited about our surgery on July 1. I'm excited too but ooohhhh so nervous. Am trying to absorb all the positive energy through my iPad. Lol

I know that everything will go wonderful for each of us. I will say a prayer for all of my VST friends.

Well, just to clarify, I am CRAZY nervous too! Now, maybe it's the medical background, but I'm not nervous about the surgery itself. I am nervous about post op- the nausea, the pain, the potential for complications. I was told my doctor sends us out of recovery room with a PCA- an IV that we control. Most people would be pleased, but I'm thinking, they don't give a PCA to people with no pain.

I'm trying to stay super busy this weekend, so I don't have a lot of time to worry!

I'm as nervous as a short nun at a penguin shoot.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist. Plus it might give you something to smile at when your nerves flare up!)

I meant to say this earlier, Rosehip--don't feel embarrassed for crying! This is an emotional process with a LOT of ups and downs. Hope you're feeling better. icon_hug.gif

Aw thanks :-). I'm feeling a bit better.

Sent you a message about the FB group too.

And you will reach for the Chapstick before you reach for your phone!!! My aunt had to bring me some, It felt like HEAVEN gliding across my lips.... Just a lil FYI

Starting to get a scratchy throat and head cold. I'm already on antibiotics for something else so I know it's not bacterial. I'm praying that it doesn't get any worse as I would hate for this to be postponed.

I'm freakin out! We leave tomorrow to head down to the hospital. I'm so glad that I'm having it on the first though. It feels like...a new beginning...like whenever I start a diet or anything like that...I always would start it on the first of the month lol! So I'm glad my life change is happening on the first!

I had the stomach flu all earlier this week! I was soooo sick and miserable. Thank goodness I pushed through it and I'm feeling much better now.

You might want to take some zinc to head the possible cold off at the pass. Zicam works pretty good. I hope you feel better. Wishing cold vibes away from you. (O:

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
