Recommended Posts

I'm new to Vst in the beginning process ' date=' how long does it take after first evaluation? I know its different per insurance company, mines doesn't have a wait period though. Receiving some adverse reactions some people are thinking its the easy way out . Any advice?[/quote']

Stay away from negative critical folks during your journey!

My surgeon required clearance from various specialist and every appt resulted in another appt. it took me 6 1/2 months, my insurance was the least of the problem, they approved my surgery instantly. Best of luck on your journey!

Sorry to hear that! What are you struggling with?

I am loving the Protein shakes in the morning. My favorite so far has been almond milk, 1 T. natural Peanut Butter, 1 T. sugar free instant choc pudding mix, and 3 stevia packets. Mixing it with crushed ice it ends up a smoothie. Oh, and a scoop of whey Protein (unflavored).

Eating tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and Cavender's Greek seasoning as my "fruit" and a Protein Bar for lunch. Not thrilled with dinner this week. Had 1/2 a hamburger patty with squash Tues, and Wed. Last night had a few shrimp on a very bad salad from Panera bread. I have some sugar free popsicles to chomp on when I get the munchies in the evening. Can't believe it's Friday already, though. This week has flown by and I expect next week to fly as well. T-11 days :)

Hang in there, Dee!

8/21 here! This pre op diet is kicking my butt. My friend/coworker said you're cranky today...here have this, and brings me the other half of her donut. I wanted to high five her in the face! It was a nice gesture tho, she loves donuts. If I can get through this, I can get through anything!

Hope it reasures you that I have no pain at all! Am at home and day 4 today. Did expect some as had extra things - huge hernia in tummy, many adhesions from 4 previous surgeries as well as sleeve. Doc must be amazing - feel better than after any of them. Just take what offered if you need it hon.

Was sleeved on 6th so day 4. Home and very comfortable with no pain but light headed and a bit shaky - probably from not eating? Just feel excited and saw scales already down 7kg. Seems fast and I guess it will go up and down a bit. Trying to keep moving, will walk fast, move arms around etc. Maybe swing some food cans ?? LOL They say weights are good. :rolleyes: I just wish the smell of food or thought of it was not so very enticing. :wacko:

I am Aug 21st too! I think I would want to smack her for bringing that donut by me. My husband said I was cranky yesterday. I am on my 3rd day pre-op diet. The first went ok, I was hungry throughout the day and went to bed hungry. Yesterday my stomach wasn't begging as much for some "regular" food and today was better than yesterday. I hope it continues to get better. You can get through this...a lot of people have gone before us and have been successful. :)

      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.
