Are there any others who are getting sleeved on December 4th?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I am starting my pre-op diet on November 20th and have surgery scheduled with Dr. Landerholm of Puget Sound Bariatrics in Edmonds, Washington on December 4th. Are there any sleeve sisters or brothers out there also scheduled for December 4th? Would love to have some buddies to check in with along the way. :)

I am on a high protein/low carb diet - only 40 grams of carbs per day. :) It is supposed to shrink the liver. What kind of pre-op diets are you all on? I start tomorrow morning!

I am on a high Protein liquid diet. I can only have Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicle, and Water or clear liquid drinks like broth. I drink 3 protein shakes per day, 3 Popsicles and I have hot and sour Soup from the Chinese restaurant, the broth off of it taste great. It's a struggle but my headache is gone and I feel a lot better today.

I started mine Monday - very similar to Lisa's. It is a struggle. But I am resolute.

I have my sleeve scheduled for December 2nd! I started my pre-op on Friday even though dr didnt require until Tuesday but I knew the first few days were rough and i didnt want to do that and be at work. I tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavor protien powder for the first time today and YUMMO was like a warm Soup of soup versus a sweet protien shake. I also love the Muscle Max pro max powder in Tiramisu and strawberry. It has 30 grams per scoop and is super smooth. So far I am down 9 pounds.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
