Last Appointment coming up Anxious but yet scared looking for a mentor



Recommended Posts

My last appointment with the NUT and the surgeon is coming up in 2 weeks. Then submitting to Insurance. Preop labs of Vitamins done and fortunately everything was perfect!!!! I am getting excited but also a little comprehensive. Worried about the surgery since I have never had any surgery before. Worried this won't work for me. What if I don't lose weight??? Any inputs would be appreciated.

They are making your stomach much smaller, so you will feel full a lot sooner. No question it will work for you.

Thanks, I truly hope so. I already have my Protein Shake but need to get a clear Protein to add to Water. I have a great support team including a new fiancé who wants me to be healthy not just a smaller size. But so worried about this. Most diets have failed for me, but then again I guess that's why I am going for the surgery LOL

You're in good company here!

I drank the Isopure ready-to-drink (RTD) bottles of clear Protein for 3 days after surgery. The large bottles have 40 grams of Protein

You are so lucky to have the support in going through this journey it is going to help you out so much. Nerves are to be expected, but you just have to have faith and go into it saying im taking my life back, because that is ultimately what this whole process is about. good for you finding Protein supplements ahead of time I should have followed through on that. It is a hard journey im not gonna lie, but once you are healed it is completely worth it. Best of luck to you and your new life let me know if you have any questions id be happy to help :)

        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
