I was hoping for May but my surgeon's office said that would probably be a stretch. I will most likely get a June date.

Ok June ppl lets get to know each other. I have been down this road once had the sleeve 9/26/12. I would like to share with you some of the tricks I learned.

1: Get a ninja blender Or a magic bullet It can make snowcones you just add Crystal light or Dasani Water drops to the ice Blend away and eat it with a Toddler or dessert spoon ;). Eat as many as you like all day and night huge help.

2: Start playing around with your preop diet now test it out for a day or two see how long you can do it. I did this 60 days before I had to do mine and by the time it was for real it was a walk in the park and I did not cheat :).

3: Start playing around with puréed food yep see what's good now. I did this found some good things was a lot easier and less of a struggle when it came to what do I eat it wasn't foreign or new to me because I tried it out first. chicken breast gravy blended up. Hormel turkey chili little bit of cheese blend it. Fat-free refried Beans plain Greek yogurt green sauce packet from Taco Bell little cheese blended up.

4: Start taking all of the required Vitamins now.

5: Protein protein and more protein Don't buy a lot of it your taste buds will change. For the first two or three months after surgery by only sample packs or small sets of protein Again your taste buds will change.

6: Start making a walk routine now. Walk 3 times a day for 10 mins each time. By the time you are done you will have a 30 min walk in.

7: If you smoke stop smoking now this was hard for me to. Soda pop drinkers you might want to cut back coz like smoking Cold turkey Sucks. These two take some time to work out of your life . Ok that's all I have ATM I hope this will help all of us June ppl to have a leg up and do the best we can do :)

P.s yes I know my typing sucks its this iPhone I think it hates me :) lol

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
