Recommended Posts

Weird how I'm not using anything I thought I would post op. I ordered Unjury chocolate and have been using it twice a day with almond coconut milk and the rest the day is broth Soup or crystal light and yogurt. In another week I can do cottage cheese etc so it like the getting in Protein part was never a problem. I have my Syntrax and will def use it but for sone reason the milk and unjury feel great and taste better so why ruin a good thing! Now u just need to order more cuz it took forever to get here and cannot buy it locally.

So I had surgery on Nov 6 with Dr Alvarez. I can not explain my joy!!! Dr A and his staff is everything you could ask for!!! I have never had such great care and an easy recovery. I was walked the river walk in San Antonio for 4 hrs day I was released. I am not having any problems getting my Fluid in. Dr Alvarez,Jessica and the rest of his staff is the best!!! 20lbs down and I just began!!!

I had gastric sleeve on Nov. 24 and am new to this site. I don't know what "buddying up" is, but it sounds good to me! I could use a few friends to compare notes with.

@@Elizabeth1124, I have surgery 11/13. I feel great. How are things going for you?

I came back to add, I noticed that we have the same goal weight and I am only an inch shorter than you. At my last appointment (Jan 2nd) my surgeon told me that I should probably change my goal weight because he isn't sure I will get there. When I started this process I told him that I would be thrilled to get down to 160. He is the one that told me 140 was the best goal for me. Now he has changed his mind but in the same sentence tells me I am doing well . . . If you don't mind sharing, how many calories are you eating daily? I have PCOS so I am trying to keep my carbs at 40.

        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
