I'm scheduled for My 19th too! I also have a 4 hr appointment on May 4th and start my pre-op the next day. Not liquids but all high Protein low carb from the store inside my surgeons clinic. In Grand Rapids, Mi with Dr. Paul Kemmerer! I'M SOOOO excited! How are people prepping at home? I feel like I should be nesting like before I had my daughter. So far all I've done is separate clothes in my closet to what I'm wearing now vs. some smaller items from years past that might fit when I return to work. I'm a nurse manager and have to dress up for work-excited for new clothes but not looking forward to the cost of constantly changing wardrobes.

My Dr suggested buying kiddie spoons, forks, plates and a sippie cup. I felt a little awkward buying them since my youngest child is 16...Haha I have never been a shopper, so the idea of buying all new clothes doesn't appeal to me. Maybe that will change when I get to buy smaller clothes. On the 11th I go to the hospital for a full day of pre op testing. I think that's when it will finally hit me that this is going to happen!!!!

I have not. When I go to my 4 hour NUT class on Tuesday I will leave with a 1 month supply of supplements. This is one thing included in our 350 dollar program fee

I had my pre-surgical class with the RN and nut last week so I bought mine. I ordered a chewable Multivitamin and several different types of Protein Powder to try. I ordered Calcium supplements as well. I have Biotin and Vitamin D at home already. I also ordered a Blender Bottle that the nut recommended for Protein Shakes.< /p>

Anyone else feel like this is going to be the longest week of your life?! I tried to really fill my work calendar to keep me occupied and so I won't be too behind when I get back to work but I feel like time is moving in slow motion!

        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.

      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
