Hey I was wondering do you guys want to start a Facebook group?

I think a private Facebook group would be great! I'm interested, if anyone else is. Though not sure I'm techy enough to set one up...

I am terrified that my tastes will change and I won't like the shakes I like now. I think though I will be okay, mainly because I have given up real sugar a long time ago, and I am very used to the tastes.

I often forget to eat, so Protein shakes are the perfect fill in for me. Also, not really a morning person so they are perfect Breakfast.< /p>

I must be the onky weirdo tgat loves Protein Shakes and drinks them all the time. They are great for hair growth.

When I wake up in the morning, i start my pre-op. It is only 10 days and i can do 10 days standing on my head. I am worried about the lower energy at first since i have so many errands to run pre-op. I also have hair, nails, a pedicure I need to fit in over the next 10 days.


Nope, not weird!! I love drinking Protein shakes too. I drink them for breakfast even if I'm not currently "dieting" - I like the taste and they are fast. I'm a "do I sleep 10 more minutes or make a breakfast?" kind of person. :-)

I nervous about my tastes changing after surgery. Some people have said they drank them pre-op, but couldn't stand the taste post op!

At this point I don't want all my friends on Facebook to know about my surgery. I just noticed that the July sleevers group appears on my page as one of my groups, even though I know our posts will be hidden. Is there a way to hide this? Otherwise I would rather just keep posting on here.

I'm also in Orlando. July 17 and terrified :(

Oh wow, are you with Dr. Jawad as well, or did you go with Florida Hospital?

I'm actually a selfpay and will be going to Mexico. I've wanted this surgery for years and when I finally got a job with good insurance, I was told it isn't covered by my policy, even if medically necessary.

I also left the group, at least until we get an answer about hiding it. Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

I created an alias Facebook page so that I could join a sleever FB group without the fear of anyone else finding out. I first created a new hotmail account, then a FB account. It took me less than ten minutes. I would recommend doing it that way so that it's more private! I have only told my husband, his parents, my parents, and my best friend. I want to keep it that way too ;)

        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!

      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
