Recommended Posts

Yeah, it's a way to get the Protein in other than shakes. It works much in the same way that Crystal Light does. Just put the powder in your Water. Ordered some cherry yesterday and it's on its way.

Hi All,

It's so wonderful to find others that are having surgery on the same date! :D

About myself; I'm 24yrs old female living in Australia and have a BMI of 33 with no complications however I do have a family history of obesity and other medical complications. My starting weight is 103kgs and my goal weight is 60-67kg.

I am just tired of yoyo dieting and having low selfesteem and pretty much being overweight.

I am self funded and have an appointment with my NUT on the 6/8/2015 through Skype consultation to discuss any pre op diet as I will be flying to sydney to have my surgery.

This year has got to be the most drastic year for me; from losing a loved one earlier this year to currently going through a break up. I know now that I need to focus on my self and my health right now and end this year with a positive change.

I would like to keep in contact with you all to see how everyone is doing post op.

Much love!

I'm also scheduled for Aug 17, and have been on my pre-surgery diet 2 weeks. I've looked around the iNet, and the best price I found the Syntrax Nectar was a place in New Hampshire. I ordered fuzzy navel, caribbean cooler and Dragon fruit. Their link is. http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/bariatric-products/

        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
