hpefully you will feel inspired by your nut and not discouraged she did and exercise were she had us go around the room and say the surgery were having and our biggest struggle of the month no judgment just understanding and compassion i really love my nutritionist. she rocks and she explains stuff in a non threating way like the amount of weight to lose how to stay away from bad carbs and how to make better trade offs shes just really down to earth

I have never been so ready to do something before. I have to lose 20lbs before I see the surgeon. I have all my test set up so hopefully the next few months will fly by and I can get sleeved!!! My insurance also requires a 3 month supervised nutrition plan. Hopefully I'll get everything done in that 3 month time frame so I can get a date by the end if the year :)

Is your insurance making you wait 6 months? My insurance requires 3 month supervised program however it maybe an additional month or two before I get my surgery date. I'm hoping it's not that long. Staying positive!

Yes I have to wait 6 months so I'll be done by February and I should be in surgery by mid march or early April at the latest

Hello, Sorry for the late response. In my nutrition meetings we go over the basics of nutrition, whats a smart choice, whats a bad food choice, the importance of Protein, etc. For the first 4 months I am seeing a staff nutritionist, the last 2 month visits I will see the Bariatric Program Director who is also a nutritionist. I've been to a few of her support meetings that she hosts & I think that when I meet one on one with her I will truly gain something from her sessions. She has so much to offer in her support groups I'm looking forward to my one on one sessions with her.

How are you doing?

        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
