April 2014 pre-op group



Recommended Posts

I was worried about my insurance too but it wasn't a problem at all. They called me yesterday & just encouraged me to try losing more b4 my surgery. My whole process has been about 6 months including the mandatory 12 week classes I had to attend thru kaiser. Seems like once u got the referral to surgeon things are moving sooooo fast!

For the April 2014 bypass folks who joined the group but can't figure out the navigation, this link will take you to the discussion part of it. I have tried to keep up and invite everyone I find who is having bypass in April.

Hello All,

My surgery date is in April 28th. I am taking one week off. My doctor requires one day liquid diet which is before surgery . I need to lose 5-10 pounds it's not easy. My Nutritionist had everyone on a 2 shake a day for Breakfast /lunch ,2 yogurts for snack a day, and dinner is one piece of meat and greens. It's so hard. I feel like I'm starving. Headaches are being to come. I have my good and bad days. Today is a good day.

How is Everyone else doing?

My surgery date is also April 28th. Im getting things together see what I like although I hear my taste will completely change. Im normally one that can tolerate things I don't like so we will see. Good luck.

Proudmomma83 I feel your pain! I am on day 4 of my 2 week liquid only diet! I can have a shake for breakfast, lunch and dinner and only sf Jello or 8oz of broth twice a day for a snack. My first and second day was really hard! Day 3 and 4 not so bad.

I am nervous about the liquid diet myself. Surgery date April 28 and have to be on liquids 14 days leading up to surgery. I have been pushing back from heavy foods for about a week in preparation. More plain yogurts, cottage cheese, sf Jello, salads no meat. Im Good with that but its still food only liquids for 2 weeks is going to be a real challenge!

Day one was the worst! The hardest part is still making meals for my son (single mom) n having to have a shake myself! I keep telling myself 10 more days today!! Lol

      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.
