So I find myself doing the last meal/last beer binge before the life-changing surgery on Jan 8th. food not so much as the beer. I'm not physically addicted but sure am habitually addicted. This is going to be a hard transitition but I'm dedicated and motivated to go to preop diet Monday the 6th. I hope I can reach out to you when I leave those beers behind. I met a new future sleeve buddy (Lucy) who gets surgery later in the month in Mexico. I look forward to sharing our experience/triumphs/failures with each other. Blessed be to all the Jan 2014 newly sleeved friends!!!

Cheers!

Deb

Do any of you have a specified amount of weight to lose before surgery? I was told I needed to lose 5% of my starting weight

      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.
