Veronica Page I actually did do old school Atkins complete with litmus pee sticks. I only lost 15 lbs in 6 months and was only on very low carb the entire time. At the end of it my organs started shutting down, I think it's called ketogenic syndrome or something. Regardless of what they preached, calories still count on Atkins.

That's pretty cool that your family will celebrate Christmas early for you. I've tried different shakes I'm really having a hard time but the ones that I found that I do like are the Core Power, GNC lean shakes and I just found a new one that I have really really think is yummy it's from V8 Protein shakes. As for my vitamins I got chewable ones at GNC but I want to order from Amazon the one Multivitamin my surgeon suggested. It's from oppurity.

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th in Tijuana with dr. verboonen. I'm so excited!! When I first scheduled earlier this week, the plan was for me to go alone but my husband and kids are freaking out about that, lol so my husband is going to apply for his passport card on Monday & pay an extra fee to expedite it. We've heard you can get it back in 2-3 wks when expedited so keeping fingers crossed for that. Other than his passport, my next steps are booking our flight & getting my supplies all together for preop diet & stuff to pack. I'm so excited!!! :)

I certainly will. :) a friend of my daughters had to get hers quickly about a year ago & she said it was back in 2 or 3 weeks after she applied. Since we're just getting the passport card, the fee to expedite should only be about $60. Good luck & I hope you get yours in plenty of time so you don't have the added stress of that to worry about. :)

      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.
