I joined the Facebook Page and posted one time and then noticed that my post showed up in my news feed - I thought the page was private? I freaked out and deleted my post and haven't posted again because no one knows I am having surgery except my husband- I don't want my Facebook friends to see that I am posting to the page. But I read the page everyday and have so much to say and my own questions to ask - how can I participate without everyone knowing?!?!

Hi Novelist,

I had my surgery on the 3rd. Feeling kinda crummy still. Very tired. Very slowly getting fluids in, definitely not the 64 that the dr. wants but hey, I am giving it my best shot here. No signs of dehydration so far, so good. Hope you are doing great! Please update when you have time.

Hi Everyone,

My band to sleeve revision is 12/29. I'm a little nervous as I've been a bander for 6 years and after several miserable months, finally went to my surgeon and found out my band needs removed. I really loved my band and depended on her to let me know when it was time to stop eating.

Anyone else going from band to sleeve? Would love to hear from everyone!

Can someone give me ideas on Protein shakes? After my banding, I couldn't stand the sweet smell of the Protein Shakes. I had a horrible time getting in my Protein until I started eating solid foods.

Let's all keep in touch.

Beth

I've never been banded. Welcome to the sleeve universe. I've had my sleeve 3 months and know a few banded folks. Your sleeve will tell you to stop eating. Trust me! ;)

I used premier Protein shakes from costco. I actually like them a lot. My dietician said they are one of the best out there. I only ever tried the chocolate tho.

Good luck with surgery!

        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
