The class went well very informative on what I can and cannot eat. My 2 week preop diet is 1000 calories only so I can still eat food so I went shopping for a lot of smart ones and lean cuisine meals and really making sure I'm not eating and drinking at the same time. How's everything going with you Joann and thanks for asking

1000 calories that's good, at least you don't have to do the Protein Shakes that everybody seems to find disgusting. But be careful on the smart ones and the Lean Cuisines just watched the sodium intake because the sodium can be kind of high on those meals.

I'm doing my voluntary liquids and Proteins today just to see how well I get through a day. I started off with tea from Tim Hortons with equal in it and I had an Atkins strawberry shake which has 15 grams of Protein and only one each of carbs and sugar and 160 calories. I'm also going to try the ensure high Protein Shake that has 25 grams of protein, so hopefully I can still tolerate the taste after the surgery . I hear a lot of people saying that their taste buds go a little haywire after surgery.

yeah I heard about the taste changing. I haven't tried any shakes yet in case I don't like something after surgery.

      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.
