Hello! I just got my date - August 22nd at Kaiser south bay with Dr. Zane - I saw at least one other person having it at the same hospital. Im super excited and a little over whelmed. Despite having taken the classes, I now cant seem to remember all that I learned! I plan on having a date with my bariatrics binder from class tomorrow!

Looking forward to my new life!

I had my sleeve done last Weds. For the most part I'm feeling better. Still very lethargic and sore. I don't like taking the pain medication except when going to bed. Adjusting to my new stomach size. This morning I had a small thing of Jello and ate it super slow and now I'm full. I was finally able to drink a 6 oz Protein Shake yesterday and it took me 3 hours to get that down because I felt so full. I'm hoping that will get better as my stomach heals, right?

I'm at the end of my third week on my liquid diet and I can honestly say that food doesn't have much power over me anymore. I can see people eating and smell the food and I'm fine. I think to myself, "That smells really good and I bet it tastes wonderful" but I have no urge or overwhelming desire to eat it. At first it was really bad for me and I had serious thoughts of stealing people's food right off their plates! But it gets better and I think me and "Karly" will do just fine after surgery.

3rd week omg I don't know how your doing it!! But I wish you all the luck

I had my VSG done on 8/05 and I'm doing well. I'm seriously mourning real food! I'm actually emotional about it which I never expected. I prepared for surgery for 8 months and it's not what I expected. I need more ideas

I had my VSG surgery 08/05, I was super excited for the this new journey in my life and took the last 8 months to prepare for this. I'm an emotional mess today because I'm mourning food...I'm not hungry at all but I'm tired of what I've got for the next few weeks to eat. I'm not a sweets girl I'm more a savory food person and want that! I'm open to any ideas and I need to know if anyone else is having these issues too.

I'm in Calgary, Alberta and am scheduled for surgery in Tijiuana on August 24.

I have not had much to time to think about it, freak out about it, prepare for it. I'm only 3 weeks into my decision and am starting my 14 day pre-op eating plan. The plan is a Protein shake for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch, and dinner of Protein and salad. One optional protein shake later, if required.

      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.
