July sleevers! Are we ready!



Recommended Posts

I get sleeved on Wed. July 24!!! I ordered my Vitamins, but they aren't in yet, have 1 weeks worth of low cal Protein Powder, most all of my medications, but I'm SO nervous. I'm mainly nervous about 'dumping', hunger, and nausea.

I"m SO glad to have found this support forum online!

Hi! Sleeved on July 16 and doing well. This is my first post! I guess my only complaint is bloating! I hate it!

Same here! Although nothing is needed at the hospital besides your clothes, I feel like something is missing. I hate that feeling. Good luck tomorrow!!

American woman, I'm right up the road from you! I live near 287 & 20. I shop in Mansfield often and I go to the movies there. So we are fellow foodies... I had my "last supper" tonight at Red Lobster. I have been craving scallops and wanted a few before I start shakes tomorrow. I had a beer to Celebrate. I know ... but it was a light beer! Probably my last one!

I have gradually gotten myself up to 250 pounds from 180 only six years ago. I went from 110 to 180 over the course of 30 plus years that included three pregnancies. I was a little bitty thing ... I'm more than twice the woman I was when I got married!

I NEED to lose weight. It's a struggle to carry around all of this extra weight. I was very active 10 years ago ... Camping, hiking, biking, rafting, had a sailboat. Now I can't even hike through the mall! I ride a cart at Walmart and Target. I'm so ready to lose the weight!

Good luck to all of you having surgery tomorrow and the rest of the week. Ill be thinking of you!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
