Bet it feels weird to not be hungry. Glad you are feeling fine, and hope the peeing picks up for you! ;)

Forget the eggs they are so bland. But the ham is tasting pretty good. I'm shocked.

So' date=' did any one elses surgeon try to get them to change from RNY to the sleeve? My doctor seemed quite persistent, though said the choice was mine, and it didn't seem to bother him that I choose the RNY. He kept going on about doing a fabulous single incesion through the belly button, but seriously, I have a road-map on my stomach from 3 pregnancies, so regardless of how much weight I lose, I will never be showing my bare stomach in public. I am wondering if maybe he just wanted more practice doing the single incesion, lol.[/quote']

My surgeon did the same thing at my first appt. kept telling me I could do just fine with a sleeve instead of RNY. I listened to him but felt the RNY was still the best option. When I went for my preop appt last week I schedule surgery, he didn't seem bothered at all with what I chose. I do think you're right that they just want more practice with the sleeve. The coordinator of my program said it's like the "new" thing they're trying to get people to do. For me, it just didn't have enough proven benefits. Now surgery is Tuesday!!! Can't wait! Good luck to you!

I think they are looking for more statistics for the sleeve, so the more they do the more they know. I already had the band so my doctor said I may not be successful with the sleeve since it is also just a restrictive procedure. My prior band surgeon and my new surgeon suggested the rny. So rny it was. :)

I tried to stop my pain meds yesterday and was a bit uncomfortable. I ended up taking them last night because I couldn't sleep. I was groggy this morning, but feel much better now. I am going to try to help my friend find a dress at the mall today. It will be my first time wearing real clothes since the surgery. Hope it goes well. Going to try not to take pain meds today again.

I am doing the Premier Protein as well. It tastes the closest to chocolate milk and not a chalky aftertaste or thick. Plus' date=' it has 30 grams of Protein for each shake which is great. I have had no issues with it, and I got it from Sam's club.[/quote']

I haven't tried that but i got the lite choc muscle Milk from costco pre made. Its pretty good.

      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.
