I hope someone comes through for you. It seems so many people give "lip service" but they don't think they will ever be called or they have no intention on following through when they are needed. But like you I drop everything and do for others if I can. I sure wish I was in your town cause I would be there in a heartbeat.

Isn't that the truth, We could get a van full of us and just go to the mall and walk and shop and talk and have a real good time.

That would be soooo fun!! It would be so nice to be with a group of people that understand what it's like! Plus, I bet we'd all make a hell of a fun group! Lol.

Thanks for the inspiring words guys. Just ready to get past the uncomfortableness. It's not super hard to drink, I just don't want to, ya know?

The 30 min Water rule... Does that count for full liquids, 4 days post op? Or is it okay to just take what I can? Eating an ounce or two Tomato Soup and water

I know I haven't been obeying the rule of no drinks right now. and it hasn't been bothering my stomach. but I know I will have to when I have more solid foods.

This is what the nurses gave me when i was discharged. You know those medicine cups you get with the over the counter liquid medicines. They gave me 5 of them. They filled 2 of them with Protein Drink and 3 with Water. They said sip all of it in 1 hour. And repeat till i get my 60 oz of Protein in. I have had no discomfort so far. Thank you Jesus . Just a little sore where the incisions are at. And i have to drink like this for 2 weeks. Kinda weird cuz i feel i can drink more then they suggested. I am allowed to take my Vitamin and my regular prescription pills that i was on before surgery. So far no problems. At this tome i feel very fortunate. But yet wonder why i cant have my SF popsicles or SF Jello. And crystal light drinks. But time is moving fast for me all is ok for now

Old hippie, you can have crystal light in place of some of those waters. Our surgeon doesn't condone the Popsicles because cold can cause discomfort. Don't know about the jello... Sounds good to me right about now. I think I'm going to make some Jello with unflavored Protein.< /p>

      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.
