Pre-op visit with surgeon today, then surgery on 11/4.

Not nervous (yet!?!?!) but excited to be past it. I have faith in my surgical team, they are the best in the area, deal with high risk surgeries (me) all the time and I know all will be well.

Good luck to all of us in November!!!

I tried a bunch of differant powders but the one I liked best was the Unjury because it tasted pretty good and it contains the whey protien isolate that my Doctor's office says is better protien (and I don't want to lose my hair) I also got the vanilla flavor because someone said you could mix in Crystal light orange and it would taste like the popcycle - they were right so i"m going to try it with other CL flavors.

Also I found Silk unsweetened almond miik and added to the Choc Unjury and that was good to and it saved a ton of carbs (my liver will thank me during surgery)

Also they recommend Powerade Zero because it has all the electrolights and fewer carbs that Gatorade. It is also a good choice for when you are on Clear Liquids.< /p>

I'm Nov 6th and have been on the protien shakes since last Tues. I go to clear liquids on Monday. FREAKING OUT already but looking forward to a new and healthy ME.

Good luck to all that are going before me - let us know how ir goes

I have 10 days of pre op liquid diet so I haven't started yet, but am very excited to do so!!! I have another dr visit tomorrow the Friday starts my liquid diet! It's just around the corner! Definitely going to eat some homemade bread for Halloween though :)

Eat it while you can! I am not missing regular food at all on this detox. The food choices I have to select from are amazing and I'm not hungry at all.

November Sleevers it's almost our time to shine. To think by this time on Friday I will be sleeved and so will a few others to which I wish all the best and my prayers are with you. Then the rest of you will be right behind us. To think we will start a new chapter in our lives is pretty is exciting and I looking forward to hearing about all of your small and large victories. I hope we all keep it touch and remain support for each other. Good luck to all of you.

Woo hooo!! November is ours! (doing happy dance) :D

This is my 3rd day! It gets a little easier. Hang in there!

I agree, it's not so bad today (I'm on day 5 of 14). Had the Roasted Butternut w/ dried Cherries chicken Quinoa bowl from First Watch, for lunch. Nice meal!

November 12th here in NY too! so excited! anyone know when do they do the final blood work etc? they havent called me to do it yet and i dont know what time im supposed to arrive at hospital yet. surgery will be at 9 am

Congrats!!

I did my pre-op blood work, ekg, ultrasound of gall bladder, and xray 3 weeks ago. Not sure how each doctor requires it. The insurance company just said I had to get the surgery done within 31 days of having labs/tests done.

      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
