Stephanie I am so worried about the liquid dirt because I hate Protein drinks lol. I'm trying a lot if different ones like vanilla and strawberry. Are you nervous?

Not really.....I am at peace with my decision to have the surgery. I am nervous about the liquid diet though! Lol 2 wks ughhhh! Lol I'm also trying a lot is different shakes. I like the Syntax nectar Protein bcuz they have sweet and fruit flavors and also unflavored Protein.< /p>

Pre-op diet it will be Boost and Atkins shakes for me. What is your pre-op diet like and how long is yours ?

Hello everyone

How are you guys doing? I'm excited, scared, nervous, worried & anxious for my surgery on May 19, 2014!!! Of course I'm counting down the days. Is anybody getting or already got the Insure Nutrition supplements that were covered by some insurances? And if so when? How far ahead are you guys putting in your claim?

I too am May 19th..

dear ones,

yes, had my wonderful surg. on the fifteenth...three days in hosp., then home to motel. suppose to stay in anchorage until 26th...800 mile round trip from home. I am doing great and husband being super great to me. only new words of wisdom I didn't see in all my research are...buy lots of disposable bed pads!!! would have made life so much easier. GLAD I had the surg. a fun thing...I had unexpected paranoia...probably from the narcotics...I thought the hospital was running a drug ring and was going to be raided by police that day. whew!!! happy when that was over.

blessings,

Karen in the woods of Alaska getting ready to Celebrate my 73rd birthday on the 29th of this month

Hi everyone, my surgery is scheduled May 8th. I got my Protein Shakes today Bariatric Advantage.....YUCK. But I'll make it work, I got one chocolate & one vanilla. I did my fast track appointments today so I did my psych consult, nutrition consult and fit consult all done now. I only had to do one support group.... I'm getting really nervous but excited. I start the shakes Thursday, anyone else scheduled for the 8th? This forum has been so helpful I hope I can find a buddy!!

      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.
