June 9th Sleeve - Looking for friends!



Recommended Posts

@MommaCEO I'm still here! Only 5 more days of the liquid diet. I'm battling wanting to CHEW something, but I've done really well! I did have some egg drop Soup on Monday, but I mentioned it to my NP, and she said I shouldnt have had it. :(

Honestly I've been on liquids since last Tuesday and I've cheated a bit. I've been eating deli turkey. If you need to chew I like crushed ice in my Protein and I tolerate Jello.< /p>

No more cheating today. 6 more days. I have to do my chest X-ray and EKG today, Thursday is dr apt and 3 hour pre op class. Busy week. I do t know if I have to do Clear Liquids right before. I've read some people do,

I'm down about 8 pounds.

Has anyone made a rewards list. My first five down I bought some shoes. Luckily they were on sale and Target.

I'm still here too. My last day of pre-op diet and it's killin me!!! last night my tummy growled for hours. I've been doing so many shakes that I'm actually tired of them!

To help with the CHEWING craving, I'm chewing Trident gum, dr. said that was ok... it seems to help me get thru the rough times. Tomorrow is surgery day and I'm kinda looking forward to a clear liquid diet for a while :)

I'm still around too, this had been busy week. Trying to tie up loose ends at work and train the person who will be working for me. my treat to myself is having a cleaning service come in and deep clean my house! When I come home, the house will be sparkling clean, yeah! 4 more days, have to be at hospital at 5am on Monday, surgery at 730am

Im June 5th and I only have to do liquid for the day before. I wish it was longer so I would avoid this food funeral I am having.

Best of luck tomorrow! We'll be thinking of you. Let us know how it goes!

I hear ya with being busy this week! I have about a month's worth of work to do by Friday, and I've been working late to try and tackle it. I wish I had a professional cleaner come to my house! What a great idea.

I'm also scheduled for Monday, but at 12:30. I almost wish it was first thing so I didn't have half a day to worry about it. Make sure to keep us updated when you are feeling up to it after surgery! I'll be sending positive thoughts out to everyone :)

12:30 isn't too bad. sleep in as much as you can ;-)

I hope the surgeon is an early morning person, lol. I will post as soon as I can. Don't guarantee it will make sense, esp if they give me the good drugs:) good luck to you as well. my emotions are all over the place- I'm at peace with my decision one minute and having second thoughts the next. I know in my heart this is the right step for me, but my head needs some convincing:). I've never had surgery, it's the unknown that scares me

Unfortunate we have at least 2 weeks post op with shakes. For me that is over a month of shakes only.

I'm planning to treat myself to having a cleaning service deep clean my house prior to surgery too. I think it will help me relax. Getting things wrapped up at work is taking all my time (budget season). 26 days till surgery for me :)

Rough day. Dr apt at 10:30, pre op class 12-3, hospital registration after then back to dr to pick up script they didn't give me, oh then to some specialty pharmacy to find they don't have meds in stock. All this and I was really hungry, woozy and downright cranky.

I'm trying to find someone to deep clean my house. I love that idea and I'm saving so much money nit eating right now.

I'm down about 8 pounds.

I'm going to wait a week after surgery to weight myself. I don't want to see a gain which will occur from swelling, fluids,etc.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
