Any October surgeries out there...



Recommended Posts

My 2 week pre-op diet has been full liquids...broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, Protein Shakes, high Protein nonfat yogurt and sugar free beverages. I have been averaging 75 grams of protein and maybe 600-700 calories a day. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. As of Friday I had lost 10 pounds. I haven't cheated at all. My motivation is the possibility of no longer having to inject insulin 4 times a day and worrying that I won't be alive to see my grandkids (a long time away since my son is only 9...lol) Tomorrow is only Clear Liquids all day and nothing after midnight. Surgery Tuesday morning. Busy getting the house, my son and I ready. Challenging being a temporary geographical single mom, but I have good friends supporting me. Good luck everyone and best wishes for much success on your journeys!

Molly I was weak during my pre-op diet. I let temptation get the better of me. Im not perfect, but according to my self evaluation, I did very well pre-op in comparison to how I was eating before. I am example of a sinner saved by grace.

I'm so glad that you have done well since the surgery. No one is perfect. Time to dust off and move on, eh?

Im having mine on oct 28. Im 5 feet 228#s. Cant wait to stand up without having to adjust my pants over my belly :-)

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.

      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.
