Hi fellow September Sleevers!

I've been taking some vacation time and relaxing a bit before hitting the pre surgery diet and then surgery on September 9th!

I am nervous, and excited.

I've found this pre surgery diet (870 calories) a B*T@H!!!

Over the past couple days I have found that lemon Water (which I actually enjoy) helps curb my appetite. I have Jello cups 25 calories if I need a snack, a Protein Shake mid day or mid morning and then a Lean Cusine or similar meal for dinner.

Yesterday, I was super busy at work so no time for lunch, at dinner I had a chicken and liguine Lean meal and put the food in green leaf lettuce leaves like a wrap. It was actually pretty good. That was 270 calories. I seem to be doing well.

My pre surgery appointment with the Dr. is August 28th, she wants to see that I've lost 10 to 15 pounds. YIKERS!

How is everyone else doing that is pre surgery for September 2015?

I just love this group.

Each time I am here I learn more and have come to know that I am not the only one. Which was sometimes my thinking.

I can't wait to stop avoiding mirrors!

      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.
