Pre-Op Accountability Challenge



Recommended Posts

Let's post daily to be accountable and keep each other motivated.

My pre-op goals are 35 grams of Fiber, 60 grams of Protein, 64 oz Water and 30 minutes of exercise. YAY!! I met my goals all my goals for today. With the assistance of Protein shakes and fiber supplements. I dusted off my P90 dvd and popped it in. I'm so excited and tired!! Haven't exercised in awhile but I made the big step of getting started again! First small steps to big changes for the rest of my life! I'm counting this as my official day 1 of pre-op diet. 15 days left!!

Hello!

Sounds like you are back on track for your March surgery. I saw an earlier post that you were going to have to wait until December due to insurance issues.

I had my surgery in Tifton on 2/12 and am doing great! I have an appt. with Dr. Smith tomorrow and should get my first fill. Did you know they are starting a support group tonight?

Will you be attending the group? I was so glad to find out that if I had previous insurance coverage before this policy my pre-existing condition exclusion would be waived. That's how I was able to get back on track! Glad to hear all is well with you! I asked Dr. Smith if I would have anything in my band initially he said no. Hope you get a good fill tomorrow!!. Were you hungry much?

I did attend the support group. There were five of us there--everyone there had already had surgery. It will the second Tuesday of each month. Maybe you can attend next month. I get hungry sometimes but not too bad.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
