I would like to be added to the Facebook group. My name is Jessica Brown. Email is msjayebrown@gmail.com.

On another topic. I am having a hard time getting 60g of Protein in plus liquids. I am never hungry. I just don't want to eat. Tomorrow will be one month for me and I feel like I should be adjusting to eating (soft foods) better by now.

So I have a question about the Facebook page I have not told very many people about the surgery and do not plan on it can people see but I'm a part of the group and know what is 4

I haven't told anyone on my Facebook and do not want to either. Will they know that i'm in the group if I get added? I want to join but I am a little apprehensive because it has RNY with the page

For no one to know the group needs to be secret instead of closed. With a secret group posts will not show up on regular FB and it won't say so and so joined group so and so. I too am apprehensive because I have not told a lot of people.

Seems like a long time. Do you have disolvable stitches? I had surgery on 9/10 and my stitches were removed about 9 days later. Mine were different in that I was stitched inside just under skin with just a tail sticking out on both sides. Not comfortable having the long suture removed five times!! Anyway, they then put another set of steristrips on and I was allowed to remove them 7 days later, which was 9/26.

Hey Jessica, there are a few Jessica browns. Either describe your profile pic or friend me (Maria Criscenti Newman) and then I can add you to the group.

I still don't get in all my protein and fluids. It's a bit overwhelming so I just do my best. I haven't found a Protein Shake that doesn't upset my pouch.

Seems like I do fantastic then I over do it and wind up in massive pain! Has anyone found anything that works better than gas x for gas pain? Also, has anyone purchased the weight loss surgery cookbooks if so what one? Hope your all doing OK and getting your fluids in. :)

I bought the weight loss for dummies cookbook and I subscribe to some online blogs the have recipes like The World According to Eggface, Bariatric Foodie, etc. I get bored easily with eating the same stuff all the time.

I have a question! How did you get a surgery date for sep if you hadn't finished all your pre recs? I wanted to get my rny done by my bday sep 24 I see the phy on Tuesday then all I have left is to see the nutritionist. When do I make my finale appt with the doc? I need answers please :-)

My pre-op and surgery date were given to me the same day. I guess it's up to the doc's office everyone may be different. As soon as they got my approval from my insurance it was set.

      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.
