Is everyone exercising with the shakes? I'm so exhausted....I haven't been. Probably why I've only lost 12 pounds....

How many of you have to do a liquid diet before

Mine is not a full liquid diet, but shakes for

Breakfast and lunch and then Protein and veggie (low fat, low carb) for dinner. I started Monday and I'm on it for two weeks. liquids only the day before Surgery.

I am sitting on pins and needles just staring at the phone at times wishing it would ring and I would have an answer from the insurance company! I am so ready to have a date! Did anyone call to see where the insurance company was in the process? Is it worth it? Will it move them along quicker?

I didn't call as often as I wanted to, and it turns out people didn't have the right paperwork. Who

Knows how long it would've taken if I hadn't called and brought it to their attention. My paperwork could've been submitted two weeks earlier than it was. Keep calling!!

I found that to be the case the first time I called. My program had changed in the new year and I had to back track to do a couple of extra things. I think I will find the number and call today. Thanks for the encouragement! I am so excited to go forward and start the new me!

Heading to my last weigh in today. Then everything gets submitted to insurance. Hoping for a quick answer, so surgery can get moved up! Been off from work with severe back and leg pain. Off all of Feb., went back for two weeks and off again. Pain management doctor has nothing else for me at this point, because nothing is working. I want to get this process moving ASAP. The sooner I lose the weight, the sooner I can get my back fixed. Then maybe i can actually LIVE my life! Fingers crossed!

      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.
