I'm still trying to get the hang of this site. I like the personal conversation.

Well, I'll be starting my shakes on Wednesday. I don't think it will be too bad. I've be using shakes to loose weight these last few months.

I hope all my questions are answered at the class I have to go to onTuesday.

I am nervous about the life change after surgery.

Ok. Here goes.

Can you have nail polish on?

I would like a list of exactly what I can eat. (I have no imagination when it comes to food)

I take a lot of meds, like around 14. I am concerned about putting all those pills in my new stomach. Can I eat Apple sauce with the pills crushed up in it immediately. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the soft food stage or something

Does the doc give you a number for after hours.?

Will I have a drain.?

Do you need any money in the hospital? (Like for tv or phone)

Do you need help at home (I live alone)

Thanks,

Casey 999

Ok I was told no to the nail polish or toe nail polish ..

We were told to go talk to the pharmacy and tell them what surgery we are having. My doc said pills need to be converted to liquid form or crushable . ( but check with your doc)

As for the hospital .. TV should be included in what we are paying

You might need help at home.. I am planning on help for a week..

I have to be on liquids for 3 weeks before I move to the next phase

I hope this helps!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
