Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I am new here. I found this app as I was looking for apps that would joe with support after my gastric sleeve procedure.

I am having sleeve surgery done at 130 on July 22nd. I am SO excited, but nervous

I'm really nervous about the week long liquid fast.

Any tips or ideas to get through that easier would be so appreciated!

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

I am scheduled for RNY on July 18th. At this point I'm not nervous, but I'm sure it will come! I do not have to do the liquid diet, thankfully. I say my doctor Thursday for my H&P and he asked I lose 2 pounds before surgery. I am sticking to my diet and am determined not to cheat!

Good luck with your surgery!! :)

Best of luck to you all. My date is July 24th. I'm really scared, but luckily, my Mother said she would go with me. At 1st I was going alone. I'm so grateful to my Mom. I start the liquid diet on Thur. I hope I can do it successfully. I'm having a problem with not drinking when I eat. I'm so use to washing it down, especially when it gets stuck. I don't eat on a regular schedule, so Its hard to get my drink in 30 min before. I'm going to have to work really hard on this one. I've been so emotional lately, which is not like me at all. I've been crying. The # of times I've cried in the last 10 yrs. you can count on one hand. I feel like something is wrong with me. I don't feel comfortable with this lack of emotional control. Even though I felt like a mutant for not being able to cry, I felt like that was normal and this isn't. I was thinking of going to the Dr., but when I go, nothing really happens. I got something from my insurance company stating that I need to lose weight due to Metabolic Syndrome, yet they won't pay for weight loss surgery, so Aetna, thanks for nothing. I hate our insurance. It is so terrible. The only reason I keep it is for a catastrophy. Thanks for listening. Sorry I am so emotional. I really don't know why I am and I hope its a phase or something.

      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
