Hi all I have been on Protein Shakes since 12-19 but my doctor has me on 3 shakes 2 apples and a salad with grilled chicken and sugar free dressing daily down 7 pounds my stomach does get upset and what adds to it is when I had the endoscopic I had a stomach infection who knew so he put me on prepak which is 2 biaxin, 4 amoxicillin and 2 Prevacid kills my stomach . Pre surgical testing 1-3 then the count down till the 9th . My doctor wanted me to lose between 12 and 15 pounds before surgery I am sure I will do it this will be a great year for us.

Hi ladies,

This is my first post, but I'm having my surgery on January 8th! So good to "meet" others on the same schedule. I am on day 6 of the liquid diet and I don't think I've lost anything yet! The only thing I cheated with was a little orange two days running, but I think that's ok to eat. Had my pre- surgical testing done today and there is nothing left but to count down the days! Glad the headaches went away. My New Years Eve is ruined this year, but that's ok because next year I'm making my husband take me out because I will get to wear a sexy dress!!

So I survived my surgery, and the three days of nausea in the hospital (yuk) and now I am almost two weeks out trying to keep down food. It's proving difficult.

      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
