March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I have also been stocking up on sugar free foods and clear broths and the Vitamins I have to take now and after surgery. I'm taking Bariatric Fusion Vitamin chewables. They have all the requirement for post bypass people and I have to take 4 a day instead of multiple different vitamins. I also heard the same thing about gummies from my DR but my chewable vitamins are actually really good. So overall, I'm already....I've got all the stuff for my liquid diet and probably the first 2 weeks after surgery. Now I'm just re-reading my goals to make sure I have everything completed before my pre op date. Excited :) come on march 6th!!! P.s. down 22 lbs since my first visit jan 10th :)

Starting to get excited--crazy to be excited about surgery. Ready to get things going. Looking through all my stuff and getting ready to get Vitamins, broth , Protein Powder, Jello and pudding in. Know things will be rough for awhile but I can do this. Trying to get things done around the house that I have been procrastinating on--making progress there.

I'm a coupon queen so I've been stocking up for a few weeks on broth, G2, Atkins shakes, Vitamins and supplements and other shelf stable stuff I will need. I don't want to put too much away until after my nut class so I have more specifics. When I first got my date 10 weeks out it seemed like forever ! Now, as of Thursday, I'm 5 weeks out!! It's coming so fast!! So much still to do!!

I bought an amazing gadget that turns zucchini into round spaghettilike strands and other veggies can be made into flat noodle shapes. I stir it around in a non-stick pan with a little salt and leave it al dente and it is delicious. I like it better than regular Pasta and it is extremely low cal and NO carbs!!!

I got it on Amazon at this site ~http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vegetable+noodle+maker&sprefix=vegetable+noodle%2Caps%2C281

Here is what it looks like in the pan ~

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
