Get some sippy cups w no spill proof lids. Another good thing is to get sf Jello sf Popsicles and other clear stuff. At my preop class they told us everything to get and it will make ya feel better.

Get yourself a couple pretty plates child size like corning ware salad plates. Crystal light it will still count as a Water. I get the packets cause it just ads to a 16.9 oz.bottle. I'm starting to buy my tomorrow. Walmart. has sugar free muscle milk 100 calories 4 pack. I bought it to try and LOVE it!!! 15 grams Protein. Good luck!

I bought my muscle milk at Walmart, 4 pack for $5.98. I just bought 10 packs for $59.80. That's 40 bottles. If you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you they sell individual bottles if you want to try it. Syntex NectarNectar isolate is also good. Plus if you buy what they sell and don't like it you can return itit. For those of you that don't know, isolate means it will desolve better.

oh and my but said we can drink sugar free carnation instant Breakfast for your Protein Shake. Another drink (hard to find) is Special K Protein packets pink lemonade flavor. My daughter-in-law said she orders them from Amazon.com

Hello all! I had my appointment today with the surgeon. He agreed to complete my surgery, but is making me be smoke free for two months! He scheduled me for surgery 12/20. Glad to report I have not smoked in 3 days. It's been hell, but I'm doing it! Congrats to everyone who is in Nov. Good luck to you all!

Good luck. You can do it!!! I've been smoke free for 25 years. :) so I know it's not easy. Take the money you save for every pack of cigs you would havehave bought and take a little vacation with that money next year. Good luck again.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
