I'm scheduled for September 2/16!! I'm on day 3 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet and struggling. I'm having a hard time getting the sweet shakes and sweet Protein bars down and my pre op diet only includes shakes, bars, Water and one cup of tea or coffee a day. So far, I haven't been able to actually get all 3 shakes and 2 bars down each day. Hoping that isn't going to be a problem when I go for my one week pre op appointment. Anyone else having trouble with the sweetness?!

I'm excited though. And nervous. But mostly excited!!

Morning! my first question for you would be what shakes are you drinking? and what bars?

some are far sweeter than others.

some I can't or couldn't eat at all.

I wouldn't worry so much about getting them all in, if you can't then you can't.

do make sure you are getting in all of your Water

perhaps even try watering down the shakes too so they aren't as sweet?

The brand for both the bars and the shakes is Proti and it's not an option to switch

:( I talked to the nutritionist today and she suggested I try freezing it and then chipping it off to eat it. I'm going to try that today and see if I can manage that. 3.5 days down, 10.5 to go!

Got ya! 10 days in the grand scheme of things is tiny. Just remember that and hang in there the best you can!

Today is my one year surgiversary. I've lost over 100 pounds and have settled in at about 215 for a while now.

There have been a lot of positive changes this past year:

- I no longer take any diabetic meds after taking these meds for 15 years.

- I no longer crave fast food and can't remember the last time I ate fast food.< /span>

- I go to the gym almost daily and no longer huff and puff after cardio exercise.

- I bought a kayak and have been paddle boarding.

- I have a new girlfriend (maybe I should have listed this one first :) )

- My dog is now at a healthy weight now that he gets longer walks.

The only negatives were related to higher costs for my medical deductible and for all of the new clothes that I have had to buy. Well worth it though.

So I went for my 1 year surgery follow up yesterday and I am happy to say that my surgeon and bariatric nurse are both thrilled with my progress! Blood work is on point! My Protein, sugars, D's and B's are perfection! Iron is a bit low but we knew that already! I've still got 50 or so to go but I'll get there!! Thanks to my surgeon Jason Radecke for being the best fairy-god father a girl could ask for! ♡♡♡

Down a little over 70 lbs.

I am a slow loser and I am not complaining!

Here is to another fantastic year and best of luck to all the 2016 September Sleevers!!

Alright September 29er here. Getting anxious, spending most of my time at work not working. Started liquids a week ago tomorrow and am down 11#'s so happy about that. liquids haven't really been a problem, lightly cheated a handful of times mainly with unsalted peanuts. I did my pre-op class yesterday and did all my hospital registration so this time next week I should be a big ole ball of nerves. Happy that my surgeon doesn't do a catheter, not so happy about the 7 days of self injected blood clot medicine. Good think my wife is a nurse and can handle that for me. Plan on enjoying a last day in the pool with the kids.

SW: 374

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
