Recommended Posts

My date is July 18th and I am so excited! I believe the devil is in planning' date=' so I am putting together an after surgery survival box

Good luck to all![/quote']

Gl to u 2! ITS a great idea for you box, and here's somthn to add, tell satan to get thee behind you in the name of God and he will flee! That's Gods promise to us, so don't let the devil find a place to rest in your journey. Words are powerful!! I'm sure theyll be challenges but ik ull b up for the task bc the biggest challenge I think, that we all have faced up too, is finally admitting we needed help and are now getting it! God bless your journey nd others:). Luk how things go, Dee Dee.

Made it through the day on Clear Liquids while everyone else enjoyed barbecue, booze and dessert. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, still had fun, even without food![/quote']

Sweet! All the best today with surgery.

I'm scheduled for July 16. I have my pre-surgery appointment on July 11 with my surgeon. I'm a little worried that he may postphone the surgery because I haven't lost any weight the preceding three months. I started at 248 and they said I had to lose 12.5 pds, which I did not do. My surgeron only requires a four day clear liquid diet prior to surgery, so i should drop a couple of pds. then. Please all July sleevers keep your fingers crossed that my surgeon goes through with my July 16 date......

You have some time. Try Slimfast for the time being. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. If all goes well I can have 5 shakes a day to meet my 1000 calorie diet for 13 days. The last day is clear liquids.

Try it until you meet with the doctor. It may work for 3 days.

Hi Patti K, I'm in Cincinnati. My surgery will be with Dr Brad Watkins at West Chester medical Center. Good luck to you. How many days is your pre-op diet? Mine is 14 days. Nervous, but excited.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
