June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My surgery is scheduled for June 4th. I'm equally excited and scared. I'm really looking forward to my new journey, but am a little concerned about some of the potential side effects, such as vomiting and Hair loss. I'm ready to change my eating habits and lifestyle, but it makes me sad to think that I may never be able to eat certain foods again. Hopefully that concern will go away after my surgery. I would really miss eating steak though.

Hi Everyone. Surgery date is June 5th. Been on the pre-op diet for two weeks now and have less than two to go. I am reading everything I can so I can try and get everything I need for the first two weeks in the house before I have the surgery. I am very nervous and very excited.

I am struggling with this preop diet. I am starving. 5 shakes a day plus broth and sugar free Jello. I have lost 7 Pds wk 1 and have one wk left. Any advice? Oh ... Congrats to u????

What about Popsicles? They give you the crunch. Hope it helps. I start my one week preop on June 6th.

I just started my 2 week pre op diet for sleeve surgery on June 11 (my birthday!) in Puerto Vallarta. I'm both excited and scared. Trying not to overthink it and just get it done and move forward with life. Wish me luck, I'll keep y'all posted; by the way I'm from BC Canada in case there are any Canucks out there getting sleeved.

June 11 for me, too. I haven't "joined" any groups...been out here on my own...but I am feeling a great need for group support and also to be supportive.

Hello! Another June sleever here! :)

I've been lurking for weeks and finally figured out how to reply to threads. Lol

I'm on day 7 of the pre op diet (5lbs down woo-hoo!) surgery date is June 5th in Tijuana with dr. Corvala.

In exactly one week I will be packing up and getting our kiddos settled with my parents. Anyone else with small children having major anxiety about having surgery? This will be my first flight (I have a big fear of flying) and first time with general anesthesia so I've been getting pretty emotional about something going wrong.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
