I have the same issues with my lower back, hips and knees. I am so excited that hopefully by losing weight I can get rid of some if not all the pain I have been in! One more reason to have the surgery.

My surgery is scheduled for March 3, 2015. I've been struggling with a bad hip and herniated discs for the past few months and am looking forward to some pain relief when I m not carrying so much extra weight.

My date is March 2nd too

I started it today I'm supposed to get 5 of these a day I can barely get 3 and, it has given me the worst gas already. Ugh. I've slept allot today. Also gave up coffee so I'm know that's not helping. But it will be better . I'll tough it out.

How are things going for you so far?

So I have to say I am not nervous about the surgery..at all. What I am nervous about is the liquid diet. For two weeks prior to surgery I am limited to broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, one Protein Bar a day, and Protein drinks. My best friend went through this and she was starving. I am not looking forward to this part at all. I feel like this is going to make the two weeks prior just drag on. After my surgery I will be back on the liquid diet for 2 more weeks but I will not be allowed to eat the protein bar. Anyone else nervous about this?

I am a little - in two days I have to start with the pre-op diet which consists of 5 diabetic boost per day. :wacko:

Awesome! That is where I get my Calcium chewy Vitamins from! I will have to take a look at those. Thanks Stacy!

@spicy06- My program wants me to use the Meal Replacement shakes. I used Bariatric Advantage. I think they have 6 flavors to choose from. You can order them online.

I had a stomach virus over the weekend so I'm just getting the 2 weeks in. I wanted to do it longer but I was gagging. I'm doing barbaric advantage only because my dr insisted(can you say kick backs boys and girls?) But if your doctor doesn't care id rather be doing the Quest shakes. I don't care for their bars but t the shake is great. I made a latte today. coffee and BA shake mix.

I am going through A Lighter Me and I started my pre-op diet today. This diet includes 2-3 Protein shakes a day and a sensible salad, with a source of lean Protein for supper. This goes on from pre-op days 14-3, on third day before surgery, I go to just Clear liquids, one of those days includes the day of surgery. I have spent a lifetime of being over-weight, I can easily afford a couple days of fasting...

Good luck to everyone!!!

      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.
