No problem and the first 2 days back or more I highly recommend sleeping inclined. ... I was not comfortable trying to lay flat in my bed.... I needed 2 get extra pillows and prop myself up.....

Sherry W I have been on 2 Protein Drinks and a Soup. I have not gotten hungry but for me the trick has been the Protein Powder added to my shakes. For Breakfast I have 8 oz almond milk (unsweetened) my 1/2 lemon at least 2 scoops of Protein powder, 1 Tbls of sugar free lemon pudding (just the powder) and then add some frozen cherries or blueberries to tone down the lemon. add 5/6 ice cubes (I shave mine first) and I am good to go for hours..

Dec. 30th sleever here, too!!! How is everyone else feeling?? For me, I'm excited and a bit nervous, but mostly just anxious for the surgery part to be over with, so I can start the recovery part, and of course to see what life is like on the other side of the sleeve!!! I am overly emotional too, but that's because my depression & anxiety are kicking into high gear!!! I need a surgery buddy too!!! Any takers??

I'm too busy starving to death on this horrible long 2 week diet to be nervous about the surgery on the 30th. I had gallbladder surgery in '08 and it was super easy but I've heard this is worse. I'm just dying to not be hungry or be able to eat some runny retried Beans or cottage cheese or something lol. Sick to death of the broth and protein...oh well on the bright side my surgeon allows coffee up until two days before surgery.post-243322-14197496074863_thumb.jpg

I am on full liquids tomorrow which is the day before surgery. I am ready and want to get this over with! It's been a long haul. I was to be free of my pain meds a week ago and I am in so much pain with my knees. The sciatica nerve is shooting down to my butt and legs. Ughh so this why I am ready to kick ass! Btw, good luck to the 29ers. I hope for the best!

Drinking broth and hoping for a relatively painless recovery. Dec. 30 sleeve seems like a dream after all these months of insurance, doctors, evaluations and mind prep. I'm as ready as I can be. Here I go.

Surg is today! Have to be at hosp by 7. Just wanted to tell you guys that I was clear liquid and Protein until day before. All clear liquids yesterday and I thought my stomach going to eat a hole through my back bone! STAY BUSY! Take a nap, shower, walk, whatever but distract yourself and drunk Water or broth and it will subside. Hang in there bc tomorrow morning for you, you will wake up and be so glad you stuck to it 24 hrs longer and it will be THE day! Good luck to you all!!!!

        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
