Pre -Op on the 23rd but I'm kind of nervous... I was suppose to get to 280 before surgery but I'm currently 270... I had my wisdom teeth pulled so I've been on a liquid diet... I'm worried they'll think I've lost too much on my own..

Ok fellow sleevers, I need assistance please...

I need to start taking Vitamins pre not post op....are there any suggestions on which ones 2 buy???

Im currently taking Centrum and they are pretty good. My surgeon think they were as well. I'm not looking forward to those chewable bariatric vitamins. I've been sampling them over the past 2 weeks. So I've decided to get the crystal Multivitamin and Calcium. I don't think anyone offers the Iron and B 12 in crystal form :(. Good luck on your journey!

I feel like it's fine ... I've been on it for about a week now and I'm fine .. 2 eas shakes and one meal (protein/veggies) and 1 snack only ... 1 serving of fruit a cheese stick a hard boiled egg or plain Greek yogurt ... not sure what other pre-op diets consist of but minds doesn't seem to bother me at all. ☺️ good luck though nikkydizzle!

Hey everyone!! I am from Texas and having surgery October 15th! I am super excited and nervous all at the same time. I am the heaviest I have ever been, I have been splurging a lot lately. I agree with Kathy that I think the hardest part will be the preop diet. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I'm not too worried about that. What kind of Protein Shakes is everyone buying?

I've been drinking the chocolate fudge, EAS carb control shakes. At a support group meeting I heard they have hot Protein Drinks on berriwise.com I hear their hot chocolate flavor is really good!

      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.
