Ironpoorer-

I am getting pretty nervous! The hardest part I worry about the most is the changes my husband has to go through. He is not over weight!

Still new to the group. Got approved yesturday.. And surgery is literally next wed Dec 23. Im stoked!! Met with my surgeon today. Hes pretty cute and confident.

I need help...started liquid diet yesturday with Protein shakes...doc said he used to recomend optima fast..aka slim fast...now the hospital recommends batiatric advantage bc its lower cost. Thoughts?

I really like the Premier Protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein and taste really great - at least the vanilla does! If you have a costco membership, they are about $25 per case of 18 so that equals about $1.40 each. They have 160 calories per shake and keep me full for a long time. I have tried all sorts of shakes and I also like whey Tech Pro 25 at 24 grams of protein, 110 calories. They have a chocolate Mint that is really good!

Best wishes for your surgery on the 23rd.

I am surprised no one else is the 30th. I can listen and learn from all of the 28th'ers. I have a broken foot so that is going to make things interesting - i have my cast off - but now an air cast. Ain't nothin but a thang. Lol

For those of you who are scared to have christmas festivities....cant you make it not all about food and treats? That is what we are doing in my house. I have 5 girls and so we are doing alot of christmas crafty projects and going on outings together as a family...not focusing on just food like Cookies etc. Christmas eve we are planning movie night and making lap blankets with fleece. New traditions for a new life style!

This is a great idea juno5. If your are having your procedure prior to Christmas, I don't think keeping a lid on it is going to be an issue. At thanksgiving I was not enticed by the food whatsoever, and if you are bold enough to try something, your new belly will let you know right away you have made the hugest mistake. It was great to be around family and friends non the less.

I'm a few days away from getting sleeved (12/28) I'm a little nervous but very excited. I think Christmas is helping take my mind off what would normally give me anxiety. How is everyone (sleeved and waiting) feeling?

        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
