Musicman-6 month liquid diet.....that sounds brutal! I'm sure you'll be successful with the sleeve :o)

Callchrissy-I have a membership at Eagle Fitness in Sparks' date=' On Vista. You?[/quote']

Yikes thats a bit far. I live off of Geiger Grade on SeReno. Thanks though. I haven't actually joined a gym yet. I'm only 2 weeks out and still on light duty but I'd like to prepare for the future.

Hi All!! I know it's been quiet in here for the past couple of months, but I was hoping to get the Northern Nevada peeps out and talking again. I have my first consult with Western Bariatric next Wednesday, I'm really hoping it goes well. I have been researching all this since last summer, and now that I have new insurance, I've been told most of is should be covered...we shall see.

Oh, I really do hope this is the right decision!

I have 2 little girls, ages 2 and 4, I work full time, and manage a small home biz on top of that, my biggest concerns are that I won't be able to keep up with all that I have going on during the recovery time.

Oh, and coffee....how WILL I SURVIVE WITHOUT coffee? ?

I am having RNY with Dr. Ganser at Western Bariatric on June 16th. They are awesome people, but the Bariatric Advantage chakes were horrendous. Blech. I prefer the HMR shakes. Awailable at UNR Health and Wellness, or online for the same price.

I have to run... bed time... but let me know how you're doing? it's always good to find local WLS buds.

I live in Minden NV. Had surgery 7/22 through Western Bariatric. My surgeon was Dr Watson (he's..um..motivating..)

Is this thread still alive?

Hi All - I'm new to this thread. Had my sleeve on 9/16/14 and am just starting to integrate solid foods back into my diet. I'm getting in 60 or more grams of Protein a day, but still having a devil of a time getting in more than 4 or 5 cups of fluids for hydration. Been hitting the WBI support group at the Reno office, but time always seems to run out before they get to a "round the table sharing your thoughts" part of the program. Had my first experience with "I ate too much" yesterday - no dumping, but I was plenty uncomfortable for an hour or so. Still learning all the new biofeedback signs for satiated versus full. We live out in the valley off of Pyramid and Whiskey Springs Rd, so getting into town to attend gym is out of the question (I work from home). I do hike a lot - 2 or 3 miles at a time - several days a week.

What do you folks do for home exercise programs?

      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
