My first and only required visit to the nutritionist is on Friday. Any advice, questions I should ask? Anything? Then I have blood work again chest xray and that is it. I got results from sleep apnea test yesterday. No sleep apnea. Yayyyy. Two more visits after next week and I am on my way in July to the losers bench. Crossing fingers. I am going to start prepping things next month. Having the house done food for my son and husband and the things I'll need ready. I've quit smoking drink tons of Water walk more and gave up caffeine. It's all I could manage these 6 months. Trying to give up sweets and breads this month.

You are doing great! Preparing yourself before surgery, giving up the bad choices for good ones, will only make everything easier in the long run for you. Keep it up!

nutritionist Friday. Any advice, questions I should ask? Anything?

@@jdillon

listen and take notes from the NUT

she should/probably will give you a lot of info that you need to remember

discuss Protein shakes, Water intake

telling you when to change stages

how much to eat

telling you to measure your food

so much more

after she's done talking you "might" realize your pending questions have been answered

you might think of more questions

hopefully she won't mind an email or phone call from you (i did that frequently with my NUT)

always follow YOUR NUT's rules

she is the ONLY one you should listen to (except me of course :lol: )

you will get good suggestions from others here

fellow sleevers will tell you their experiences from their NUT

we are all great !!!!!! helpful, supportive :)

you name it and we're all "full of it" :lol:

most times they will pass along the fact the you must listen to your NUT or surgeon too!!!!

what a great lady are you!!!!

getting food and stuff ready for hubby and son!!

its good to help them now

but........

after surgery i'm sure (hoping) that DH will be there for you, other family too would be great

time to concentrate on you!!!!! :)

you are the important one!!!!!

your emotions might/will be all over the place until July

those feelings happen to many/most/all us

take care

good luck

speedy recovery

Ahhhhhhhh Thanks kathy. My hubby and I were laying there the other night talking about the up coming surgery and he said he hopes I'm not doing this for him because he loves me the way I am and Just wanted to make sure it was a decision I'm making with the right reasons in mind. He's very sweet. I assured him that it was for me and pointed out all the health issues associated with being over weight and we had a long talk. I think he believed I wouldn't actually do this but it's becoming a reality now. It's getting closer to the day of surgery and I'm not sure he is mentally preparing.

      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
