September Sleevers...! Come on in and chat!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone -

I'm scheduled for lapband to sleeve revision on September 16 in Houston.

My post-op appointment is August 21 and then I'll start the liquid diet on September 2.

I'm curious to see how it goes. I've heard the revisions may not lose as much as first timers.

I also need to figure out how to set up that tracker here!

Tonight is my "last supper" for a while since tomorrow dawns a new dieting day. liquids, other liquids, and still more liquids! Did I mention that chocolate is my favorite drink, candy, and Friendly's chocolate fribbles rule! At least I won't be thirsty and I am psyched to face being hungry until I get my appetite in line with my mind.

My pre-op lab work, X-Ray, Nutritionist and Doctor appointments are August 29th (talk about the last minute) and VAG is scheduled for September 3 at the Bayshore Medical Center. Two days in the hospital, 5 days recovery at home and then doctor's followup appointment.

I have a high school reunion coming up on Columbus Day Weekend. The reunion is at a great restaurant with dining, drinking, and dancing - the potential for an embarrasing "blowout" is off the chart.

Being on a liquid diet and still healing in the face of a great menu, open bar, and dancing is way too tempting. Worse yet is the following morning's Breakfast buffet, OMG, I am (was) a lover of all things breakfast including mimosas.

Yup, time to scratch attending the reunion and focus on my bigger picture. Tomorrow I find the correct temperatures for chocolate Protein drinking, clear protein chicken Soup, and learn to drink 64 oz. of Water like a fish.

Hi,

My surgery date is September 12th. A little apprehensive. But I am looking forward to being healthier. I already exercise 4 days a week, I walk 3-6 miles. I plan on walking another 1/2 marathon in November. i now I will walk faster if I have lost weight. a little worried about weight loss stalls and what if this doesn't work. My surgeon has a very strict diet for the 8 weeks post op. 2 weeks of Clear Liquids, 2 weeks of full liquids, 2 weeks of yougurt, baby food meat and Protein Shakes, then 2 weeks of ground meat, flakey fish. Then I can try other food. It should be interesting. I started this process back in February. I should have had surgery in May but the Drs. office is very slow and has lost my paper work a time a or two.

Me,too. However, if I go I'm considering going solo. I need to pm the lady who is also going to Tijuana by herself.

Hey! I am scheduled for Sept. 10th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am considering going by myself bc I really want to keep this private. I will be there Sept. 9-14th. I might be able to play with my dates. We need to keep in touch if you don't mind.

      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.
