I was supposed to have surgery 3/19, but an ugly esophageal ulcer decided to mess it up and after a heavy does of Protonix (which I'm still taking) it cleared it up and now 7/17 is my day, God willing! Nice to meet you all :-)

Hi Everyone,

My sleeve is scheduled for July 22nd 2014. Today was June 22nd so I was really crazed all day. I just don't know what I should be doing with myself as the surgery gets closer. I feel like there are things I should be doing - some people have written that it's like planning for a wedding. I am doing my doctor required stuff and finding good Protein shakes - am I missing something???

My doctor does not require any pre-op diet, only 24 hours of Clear liquids just before the surgery. I think this part makes me confused. I don't exactly know what to do with my food. I want to improve each week in the next 4 weeks until the surgery. I want to do a liquid plan the last week to be extra healthy, but it's hard to know if I can do it without support and knowing it's not required.

Anyone else having issues similar to these?

Thanks,

Lori

I am having Gastric Bypass Surgery in Toronto on July 7! 2 weeks to go and I can't wait! I have been on Optifast liquid diet for a week and it has been tough but I'm trying to concentrate on the big picture.

So, I'm scheduled for surgery on July 2nd at OCC in Mexico, but we decided to visit San Diego for a couple days prior to the surgery and we leave this Saturday. Saying I'm nervous would be an understatement.

I have been on the liquid diet and don't feel like I've been losing enough, at this rate I will make the 5%, but I am disappointed with myself for not being able to reach 10% (I've never been given a target specific to me, just the standard 5-10% of body weight) It is one of the things that makes me second guess my decision to do this - if I can't lose the weight when I'm following a liquid/veggie diet (the closest I've been to 'cheating' is having grilled chicken and ranch dressing on a salad in a restaurant) how can I expect to lose weight after surgery? My body seems to fight me every step of the way.

On the bright side, this process has definitely helped me learn about myself. We went camping over the weekend, and I never realized I had such a weakness for roasted marshmallows. I wanted one so badly, I had to leave my hubby and kids out there and go hide in the trailer before I gave in and had one. Same thing with hot chocolate, it turns out. There have been other revelations like that, but I think the marshmallows were honestly the worst.

Anyone else worried about clothes? Even with the small amount I've lost, I need to keep yanking up my pants :blush: I think I may need to look into clothing exchanges in my area.

      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.
