Recommended Posts

Days are moving so slow ever since I found out my date!! Arrrg :(

Mine are moving to fast. Im traveling to see my endro and ra doc on Monday. Spend the night, get my feet done and hit costco and travel almost six hours home. Then the next morning head out and drive four hours get checked in the hotel and do my bowl prep. I'm not everything done fast enough before i have this surgery. HELP lol

That's actually a great question!

You can have your nurse disconnect the IV to put your shirt on... Or just go with the hospital gown and wear pajama pants. Having an easy pair of slippers was nice too...you will be doing a bit of walking around. I was very sleepy must of the time, so enjoy the rest and be as comfy as possible

Went out and bought two recliners hoping to have them here before the 11th. Try the 15th. I won't be traveling home until the 14th so one day in the bed won't kill me. With me in such a rural area i basically have to order in things i need. Now just to try to make a shopping list for the last minute things which I'm sure i will forget a couple of things.

Add me to the April 15th list! Wooot Wooot!!

I can say that sitting here wolfing down my broth' date=' SF peach Jello, and SF cranberry juice makes me wonder why I would ever guzzle burgers and fries the way I did. I still feel like I am hungry, but day 5 of the 14 day clear diet has me not starving anymore. Just having the hunger twinge for real tasting food. Anyone else doing that?[/quote']

Yaaay congratz

Ah okay lol it seems to have gone now thankfully. I was able to sit up and get out of bed all on my own. They were shocked lol but then lightheaded and dizziness and nausea started. But I feel great!

Hi, I'm new on here and my surgery date is April 13th. I did the 4 week liver shrinking diet so I start all liquids on Sunday. I was anxious about it because I've never had any type of surgery. I have a great doctor and a new support group and now you guys! It took years for me to decide, but here I am!

Well I feel great! Knock on wood... Haven't had any trouble in recovery at home! Surgery was on April 2nd. I'm a little tender but no biggie. Tummy has gone way down from gas. Walk, sleep and eat. Finding it hard to drink so much.. Used to love Water, it now tastes like ammonia. I use those little crystal light squeezes .. Amazing. Protein Shakes with water.. But nasty. Everyone on phase 2 make theirs with skim milk or unsweetened silk or almond milk? So far so good!

        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.

      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
