January 15th, 2015 Anyone?



Recommended Posts

One thing I'm worried about is that I haven't practiced small bites, small sips, or eating slowly, at all. I'm a major gulper. I have been known to down a whole bottle of Water at once. I eat fast, and I'm an over eater. Well maybe over eater isn't fair, I think my stomach has always been larger, my whole life. I have been drinking shakes for like a year and I always down them. Just want to drink it and be done. Ive just always been that way. Anyway, since I haven't practiced, I'm probably in for a rude awakening. Just being honest here.

You're so right--it's so much easier to stay on that liquid diet when you're distracted! I'm glad there's only 2 days left for me...and then post-op liquid diet, ha! Is it possible to die from whey overdose?! :)

You got that right! :( But I also think any amount of time until the actual surgery is a long time!! :o I am going around cleaning my house and getting last minute things and going crazy! :blink:

Hey @@mommyoftwogirls! So excited to have buddies! I'm not nervous...at the moment anyway. I can't believe it's finally so close seems like I've waited an eternity. 10 months is pretty close to eternity in wls world anyway ha.

The surgeons office told me that my surgery was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. and that I had to be at the hospital at 8:00 a.m. But at pre-admission testing at the hospital they said it could change. They would call the night before. The hospital is an hour and 15 minutes away. My family are going up Wednesday night to sleep at a hotel near the hospital. :D

        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
