I have been so obsessed that my surgery seems so far away that I didn't even realize that I start my pre-op diet in three weeks. Once June is here its going to creep up fast. I am so excited!!

@annymarie Go check out their website. You'll find all kinds of instructions and ideas for how to use their Protein powders.< /p>

Based on my experience, if you get it too hot, it will clump up and not dissolve properly. It doesn't hurt the protein, just makes it clumpy.

I will. thank you.

isn't it funny that most of us including me who have had the 6 month nut visits were annoyed because it seemed so far away at the beginning and now it flew by and we're like omg it came so fast. lol

I feel fortunate that I didn't have to do the 6 month thing. I have no patience what so ever, I would of went insane.

I almost lost my mind having to do the 6 month diet. I had talked with my insurance and was told I wouldn't have to do it and then I was denied because I hadn't done it. Gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I swear I could have killed someone but now my surgery date is just around the corner, June 3rd. I've fought for this for so long and now that it's here EEEKKK!

29 days to go!! I am not scared or nervous,yet. I have had plenty of surgeries before. I am more worried about drinking that nasty magnesium citrate for bowel prep. I have had the lemon flavor before, trust me its not good. Hoping that grape or cherry has a better taste.

Bowel prep? Hmm I haven't heard anything about that.

Consider yourself lucky if you don't have to do bowel prep. My doctor never mentioned it either, it was in the pre-op paperwork and the handbook. The day before my surgery its nothing but Clear Liquids and a big bottle of magnesium citrate for me. That stuff is a super powerful laxative. I'm going to have a busy day....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.
