Sleeved Dec 2nd *need ppl to talk to*



Recommended Posts

I will be getting sleeved Dec 2 in Tijuana, Mexico and i am pretty nervous. I'm on day 2 of my pre op diet. I'm clueless as what to eat, so I'm just drinking 2 Protein Shakes, drinking Water, and a small piece of chicken and veggie at night. I haven't rested peacefully since i found out my date. Haha! I'm excited, but nervous and hopeful. Would love to hear from other sleevers feeling the same!

Sounds like you're on the right track! Add up the Protein grams. I blend my Protein shakes with unsweetened soymilk; that adds 7 grams of Protein. Protein grams should come out to 60 - 80grams/day. Also, make sure your liquids add up to at least 64oz/day.

I guess every surgeon has a different pre op diets. I plan to go full liquid 3 days prior to surgery. When were you advised to take your laxative? I'm so nervous y'all!????

I'm going on December 3rd, have been on the pre op for almost a week. Looks like I am down close to 10 lbs, WooHoo. Nobody has said anything about a laxative yet, I see my surgeon on Wednesday maybe he will break that news to me then.

hopefully my surgery is Dec. 2nd. Tomorrow I go and get my second endoscopy. The first one came back and said I had stomach ulcers and I have waiting a month for them to heal. I cant wait I am so excited. Its going to be hard but I need this. I think I am more physically prepared than mentally. I just felt so hurt when I was put on hold, but I have done what it takes to get rid of these ulcers and I find out tomorrow. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. Let me know if you want to be sleeve buddies... i believe my Facebook is facebook.com/emthom88

I was sleeved on 11/19/14. I feel great. After the surgery regardless what the hospital staff tells you, walking gets rid of the gas! I have never experienced excruciating pain in my life. If I knew just walking would propel the gas, I would have walked earlier. Gas x just consolidates the gas in one area. This is what I've experienced. Congrats! This is a life changing experience and I'm excited for everyone who takes the step to a new you.

Yes but only because my esophagus was swollen a few days after the surgery. The meds has gotten me back on track so I will begin my Protein and liquid regime on tomorrow.

      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
