September 10 sleeves



Recommended Posts

I thought I had to be at hospital early both of you beat me. Then 6am is good. Jcp Sorry you have to take a taxi. I'm almost the same. My grandson lives with me but he can't drive my car it's manual transmission. So I'm have to figure out with a friend (her car needs a tire) to get me to hospital which is not fair from where I live. Otherwise taxi for me. Good luck to all of us on September 10.

Taxi will work. I haven't been in one in years! Only thing I don't like is I am supposed to use that special soap night before and that morning. Then I'll go get in a taxi. Ugh!!

My surgery is September 10th as well. I am a revision from the lap band. It is strange to me as to how nervous I am. I am thankful for this thread.

Operation is in less than 48 hours!!! I have been too busy to think about it. Huge party at our house yesterday. It was a baby shower/bbq. lots of friends and family in attendance. I stuck to the meal plan pretty good. no cupcakes for me! or beer!!! At the end we had a ton of leftover food and I was filling up boxes and bags for people to take all the unhealthy foods like chips and dips. tomorrow it an all day liquid diet. wonder what my last meal will be before I can't eat solids for the next few weeks? Probably leftover salmon... yum.

Last day at work today (for next 2 weeks). Keeping everything private. lots to do.

take care all of you!

Took my shower with that special soap. Guess what... No hot water! Oh well, I was so tired I didn't care. Taxi is picking me up at 5. Surgery supposedly at 7:30. I sure hope this is the right thing to do. Just too tired to be psyched. Looking forward to those Don't Give A Crap meds though! God bless you all and check in when you can! Sweet dreams!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
