I only wish' date=' no my surgery will be performed by a team of doctors with Monmouth Bariatrics at Meridian's Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel New Jersey - aka the Garden State or Soprano Land.

Having lived in So.CA, and frequented Pasadena, I envy your choice of hospitals. Perhaps we can compare notes on the outcomes of our respective "Bayshore" experiences. Have a great day and best wishes with your upcoming surgery.[/quote']

Haha-- I meant Pasadena Tx. Should have been more specific. How about we both ditch our surgeries where we are and meet up in CA for our procedures?!

3weeks?! Oh man. I do the Syntrax shakes an I do like them but its not even close to the same as a hot meal.

I found something that helps...I make an 8oz cup of low sodium chicken broth or veggie broth and i add a scoop of beneprotein unflavoured whey Protein isolate...gives me 6 grams protein in 120mls of liquid.. It mixes up soooo nice that my broth still looks like broth and i cant even taste the whey at all... If your using syntrax...try there medical unflavoured whey protein in some broth for a snack between shakes...add some herbs or spices...man oh man...gives me somthing dinner like and tastes salty versus sweet all the time.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
