@@champagne301 I only had to wait 6 days and it felt like a year. I hope you get your date soon and get sleeved with us so we can all do this together. It helps to have a strong support system.

I'm on Jan. 6 also. Three weeks from today, we will be second day post-op!☺️

Yay, that is so exciting! Wish I knew whether I am going to be the first one that morning my surgeon was gonna do or if I am going to be that afternoon. Will find all that out on the 29th. Can't wait!

How do tall keep your carbs down? I'm eating high Protein foods, but I feel like they have high carbs too....

@sleevedmanda Main thing to remember is NO bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes of any kind, corn, green peas, soft drinks of any kind. Easy way of remembering most of it is that if it has more carbs or sugar than Protein, don't eat or drink it. I don't have it with me right now but tonight I will post my sheet that my dietitian gave me. Been a life saver. Have a great day.

I'm brand new to the site and this January sleevers group is perfect for me - I'm on January 8th!

Excited, nervous, can't come soon enough for my bad knees! Great idea about getting the sectioned toddler plate Fallinstar - I will check that out for sure! I start my liquid diet on January 1st and of course today just got notice that we are having a late holiday lunch with our Executive on January 6th so I'm not sure I can drink a Protein drink while everyone else is eating and not make people feel uncomfortable. Might just opt for a salad . . . will keep thinking about that.

@@ms_ladybug Congratulations on your date and welcome to the group. What better way to start out the new year than with a great tool to help make us a healthier person? And what better support can you find than others that are going through the exact same thing? The baby plate helps to keep your proportions in check and is a visual in your mind that your plate is full, well for me 2/3 full. At first my mind said "that's a baby plate, your an adult. You need more than that. Your gonna starve to death." Won't lie. The first few days took to getting used to but with a little determination that I was gonna do this, I don't even think about it now. Let us know about your journey. It's great to share experiences and thoughts. It may just help someone else through a rough day or help achieve their goal. Best of luck to you.

How true. I can't estimate how many pieces of exercise equipment or the number of diets, especially the Jan. 1 diet, the next Monday diet or first of next month diet or after the holidays diet I have had. The sleeve is the best piece of equipment we could ever have. And, tada, it is happening the first week of the New Year. I have to admit I have had a few "last meals" and "last favorite foods tastes." Having less capacity and less hunger will be a godsend. Making healthy choices and getting the proper nutrition will give me a new lease on life. I'm dreaming of a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and New (or at least refurbished) Improved me. :)

        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
