Recommended Posts

Lots of us this week!!! Praying for us all! Tomorrow is mine, I know there were a lot of 15ths & 16ths!!! Good luck & hopefully we will all be checking in soon with good updates!!

Yep I'm tomorrow too! Getting very jittery--not just the conscious "oh my gosh, it's tomorrow" kind--but he physical my heart is racing like I'm on caffeine kind. I'm going to a show with my daughter this afternoon. Hope it helps me to relax a little! Good luck to all of us!

Here Is my update: at home now. I took my first set of pain meds and other liquid medication (wow it's soo bad ???? don't like the taste at all, mixing ut with sugar free pudding next time) I'm about to have my Protein Shakes sipping it every 15mins. Talk later.

Oh I have started getting those pangs of nervousness!! I'm also an hour past my cutoff for Protein Shakes and I'm on all clears, I can't believe I made it 10 days on that diet!!

I bet so!! I'm so big on taste, if it's gross I gag!! And with a new stomach surgery I don't want to gag!!

How is your pain level? Are you feeling better? It's always better to be at home, no rest in the hospital!!

I am felling alttle better, pain is at 2-3 and gas level is at a 10 walking every 5 hours to help...I had my liquid meds again and it does taste better with a little bit of pudding. So that helps. ????

Good luck to everyone who's going this week!

I just went to the Vitamin Shoppee & had an awesome selection! I also found that the prices were very comparative to big box stores. Plus I also found a product which will be great when I am onto "food" so I can get more Protein that you sprinkle on or in anything & you get 10 grams of extra protein it looked a lot like sugar. In the mean time I got plain Designer Weigh protein so I can mix it in my broth/creamed Soups ect. Because personally I don't mind the protein I do mind having Breakfast all day. They also have a pretty nice rewards program that's free unlike GNC & they take my Health Savings Debit card so that's a bonus.

Hope everyone is doing well I can barely believe it's been a week for me!!

It will all be ok. Be glad you have a good & careful surgeon! I may be in the same boat on Wednesday. That's always the risk with revision! My prayers are with you for a quick removal recovery. Time to focus on your basics! You can DO this! ????

3 mos will go fast!!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am having surgery tomorrow the 16th and might be in your boat. I've had my band for 9 years and am so concerned that I will have to wait another three months to have the bypass. Even if they can't do it all tomorrow, I will be thrilled to get my band out.

Hang in there. :)

      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.
