Anyone else getting sleeved in August?



Recommended Posts

I'm having mine done on August 19th, and an incredibly excited! I'm trying to be better about my eating (a big step for me, as I love junk food) and today when I realized I needed groceries, I put on the brand new walking shoes I bought yesterday, threw on my backpack, and walked a mile to the store! Whatever I purchased, I carried home on my back or in a bag. :) In this crazy heat, the sweat ran like rain, my friend! LOL!

Anyway, eating better and going to try to walk 45 min (at least) 5 days a week. :) I'm new to the site and would love some new friends to go through the process with too!

Good luck!

Had mine done on the 6th. No preparation asked for and surgery went well, 2 1/2 hours operating. Had a hernia that doc fixed - said I didn't know I had one and he said most of us previous banders have them! Nice to know!

No pain but offered relief frequently. I am having a little trouble drinking all that is required and still on drip but doc happy and home tomorrow which is great as very bored here. Not hungry at all BUT when hubby came for a visit and ate corned beef sandwich in front of me my mouth was watering. Going to have to watch that as have to do a lot of cooking once home.

Good luck to you I asked my mom and daughter to eat when I am not home or if they get something out to eat it there, they have been helping me with that. No way am I cooking until I can eat solid food. Just always have your shake or something made for you so you wont be tempted!!! Best Wishes..

I have been on my pre-op diet since 8/1 and boy it has been hard!! Im only allow the Protein Drinks and shakes from my doctor's office as well as some green veggies. Today i cheated bad :( had like an oz of rice and some grill chicken breast and a spoonful of Pasta salad and i feel soooo guilty!!! My surgery

I am suposed to have two Protein Shakes and one bowl of brothy soft Soup and two Snacks like Jello or pudding sugar free. If your going to cheat stay away from carbs like rice and pasta I think the chicken was fine. I cheated yesterday sort of with a turkey salad vinegar and olive oil dressing no salt. But I am back on track!!! Just continue what you are doing and remember it will be over soon its only temp and the more you loose the better your surgery will go. Thats what I keep telling myself. You are doing great!!!

Had my initial consult and psych eval yesterday and they scheduled me for the 26th!! Excited....Scared...OMG...I'm freakin out!!! Can't think about anything else. I start my pre-op 2week liquid diet Monday. That's going to suck big time. Wish everybody the best of luck.

This is My first time posting but have been reading for a week. My surgery is Monday. Super excited and stressed. I've been scouring for all the info I can find and have been very impressed with the info I've found here. I started this journey 6 weeks ago and now I'm here. Just days away from surgery! Good luck to all!

      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.
