Surgery Dates for July



Recommended Posts

I'm doing okay but I cheated a little bit and ate a yogurt parfait. The yogurt wasnt sugar free. yesterday' date=' I cut off a 1/4 of a piece of McDonalds quarter pounder with cheese. I was fine after eating that little piece. Other than that, I'm eating the things they told me to.[/quote']

We can do this!!! I went to bed early which helped. What are you allowed to eat? I'm trying to focus on the reason for it to get me through the day. It seems like it gets better for most people after a few days.

Maybe we can be optifast buddies. I know I can use the support....

Today's my last day of "real" food and it hit me last night making spaghetti. I'm scared that I won't be able to handle the changes but I've been constantly battling myself over it saying food shouldn't have this much control over my life and that things will be different but there will be SO many more positive things that come out of it. I'm so scared/nervous/excited/terrified lol

2 Protein Shakes, 2 healthy choice/weight watchers/smart ones meals, 2 fruits, tons of Water.< /p>

I'm noticing my temper is a bit short with people at the office. Probably because I'm hungry. After the surgery I probably won't feel this way because I wont feel hungry and if I tried to eat any forbidden food, I will get sick and I dont want that.

The pre-op diet is hard because if I cheat, there is no major consequence other than I won't lose a lot of weight before surgery. I'm still deep in the throes of food addiction so I think thats where my anger is coming from. Similar to when I quit smoking. I was angry all the time. So bad that I had to take antidepressants to mellow me out. Its a good thing this diet will only last 6 more days.

I received a call from my insurance today and they advised I had been turned down for surgery. They advised they had not received all of my paperwork from the surgery scheduler. I just started my two week diet and my nut told me to stay on it. The frustrating part is I have left two messages for the scheduler but I have not heard from her.

Stay on top of them! Don't go off the diet, keep the faith, and hound that surgery scheduler like a hawk until the insurance company gets what they need. Did they tell you what they were missing?

The way it sounded it was basic stuff like psych clearance, nutritionist's notes. I have a PCP appointment tomorrow in the same building as my surgeon. I am going to stop in to make sure they have sent over the info.

      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.
