From what I've gathered the most pain will be while your on a pain pump. Then a couple days of discomfort and gas. Which doesn't sound all that bad. But hey, we will get through it, as soon!

Yes! My date is the 22nd! I've been reading blogs and forums. I also been going over and over and over my education/diet manual. Which I'm about to do now. Trying to get my postop diet menu down, ideas for the different stages. Starting to stock pantry and fridge with different items. Making sure I get some form of exercise in with my busy work/school schedule, so it wouldn't be a shock to my body afterwards. Trying not to get nervous.

I hope it gets easier Clair. What Protein Drinks are you using? I use body fortress vanilla cream or chocolate. If its premaid the one I like beat is EAS strawberry. What you can do is get some SF Jello mix I use strawberry and add a little to the vanilla and use skim milk it really is a lot better

      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.
