I was wondering if baby food was a good substitute' date=' then I thought about it, we would be like babies again, learning how to eat all over again after this surgery.[/quote']

My nutritionist told me to think that way. I even bought a divided baby plate to help with my portions and I'm going to use baby spoons that I already have to make sure I'm not eating too much too fast.

Sooooooo... Some of us are gearing up for surgery! What are the non-pre-op-diet-peeps planning on eating the next few days. I know I HAVE to get in some Taco Bell and macncheese. Lol absolute MUST!

I didn't plan well for my 2 week Atkins diet. So I'm heading to grocery store today (I was so worried about post op diet I guess). So instead of a 14 day diet, it will be more like a 12 day diet for me. :-) I think grilled chicken is going to be my best friend, along with sugar free Jello and Water. I'm starting to measure my water intake because that has always been a problem for me. I do think I will have McDonald's fries one more time though...

It's JUNE!!!!!!! Our month!!! I'm praying that everything goes well for all of us. I pray that cold symptoms disappear' date=' nerves subside, and we all have HUGE success in our new lives! I told someone the other day "I don't want to be skinny, just smaller." Then I got to thinking...why not skinny? I think that was just my way of hedging so if I was a failure at this new lifestyle I could say I never wanted to be skinny. But I decided to be BOLD and CONFIDENT and say "I want to be skinny!" Bump that smaller crap. LOL I've been big my ENTIRE life...NO MORE!!! :-D. Happy June everyone![/quote']

That was beautiful, Be bold in the Lord, and it will come to pass, Happy June everyone, Im not really anxious, I've prayed and everybody will do well.

I' m going to find out my surgery date on June26. I still have fears about being denied for some unknown reason. I've struggled with being over weight since second grade. 10 years ago I had lost 107 lbs(Jenny Craig) only to gain all but 10 lbs back. I'm watching what I eat but I don't seem to be losing much weight at all, I even gave up eating Pasta. My husband doesn't really talk about my decision to have a gastric bypass. Sometimes he does point out what I won't be able to eat post op. I don't think he wants me to lose weight. But I'm determined to, I'm tired of being overweight.

I am really short 5'2" so 220 is really big on me. I have a small frame too - I could never say "I've got big bones" LOL. I have a sister that weighs 200 and she looks great! But, she is 5'10" and build way differently than me.

I have always said I have a relatively high palm tolerance' date=' bug giving surgery 2 days ago, this is kicking my butt.

Just realized though that the pain medication is also making me nauseous so I need to stop taking it. Also they tried oxy for take home medication and I broke out in hives last night. Wonderful. Good luck to everyone today![/quote']

They can give you something sublingual for nausea. I got a prescription for that with my pain meds, but I haven't needed it.

      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.
