Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I had my endoscopy this morning. I was freaking out for nothing, it was a breeze.

So that was it, the last thing on my list is checked off and I just have my final weigh-in on June 15th! Then they'll finally submit everything to insurance and I'll get to meet with the surgeon and get my date!!!

Day 2 of pre-op diet. Surprisingly not even craving sweets. It's national donut day and I was able to walk past them at work and not even flinch. Can wait for June 18t to get here. Ready for my sleeve and my new life!

I am being sleeved on June 18th as well. Day 5 of my pre-opt diet. Have done pretty well so far. Had a mental warfare day on Wednesday but stuck to the plan.

I walked into work today and the lady in line in front of me (we have to go through security) was holding 2 giant boxes of dounts for National Donut Day. I didn't even entertain the thought of cheating. YAY ME!! There might be some will power left in me after all :)

I am ready for my sleeve and my new life as well. Good luck to you.

How are you doing Beth?

Better each day. Strained one of my incisions on the first night home (day after surgery) by trying to get into my bed - which is significantly lower than the hospital bed was. I've been sleeping in my chair/ottoman for 2 nights now. Just reached for something and it didn't hurt - so there's progress there. Got 92g Protein and 62oz fluids in yesterday (day 3) so I think that's kicking it! Also walked "laps" around my downstairs. Each one takes about a minute and I keep having to add furniture to circle around so they continue to take a minute as I'm speeding up. Anyway, did 52 laps altogether yesterday. Hoping all this pays off and I'm off these pain meds soon.

Only 3 more days until I start my pre-op liquid diet. I can't believe how fast time has gone by since I got my surgery date booked.

Day 4 of pre-op diet. It was tough yesterday as my parents insisted on going out to eat lunch. (my pre-op is 30-40 carbs a day) Thankfully I found a great grilled shrimp ceasar salad with dressing on the side. So far so good. June 16th, here I come.

@@thecamiraye, @@Java91, I'm nervous too. Thought I might be there only one! My surgery is planned for June 12. What helps me the most is looking at before and after pictures. I know it's going to be difficult, this pre-op diet sure is! My sister told me to write down all the reasons I have for losing weight, and keep it in my pocket, on the fridge and other places, so when I'm tempted I can look at it and keep inspired. (She's lost 50lbs w/diet pills) anyway, thought that was a great idea. I can use all the help I can get!! :)

      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.
