Who is with me in the 6 month wait? January/Feburary 2016 surgery

Hi. I'm a January/February 2016 sleeve also. I started in August and was initially disappointed about my 6 month monitored weight requirement but now I don't mind. The holidays are stressful enough, I don't need to throw a surgery and life changing event in the middle of them. I've been researching what to eat at all the different phases so I feel I will be well prepared. Looking forward to speaking with you all as we go through this together.

Hi butterfly, it looks like I may have a February surgery too. I, like you, was also originally disappointed in the six month wait. Now, I am glad, so that I can get started with some new habits to help me on my journey after surgery.

If you are looking to slim down and improve your overall appearance, then it is important that you choose the best weight loss program suitable to your needs and condition. However, you may find it somewhat confusing and overwhelming finding the right program that suits you considering the number of choices available.

I just recently had my 2nd check in son only 4 more to go. I basically stayed the same but am proud of that as I also quit smoking and I figured I would gain! But it was a learning lesson for me as just counting calories didn't work so now I'm concentrating on carbs and will see how that works out this next month.

Hi, everyone. I'm new to this site and expect to have revision from band to bypass in Jan / Feb. I'm started the 6 month nutrition on Jun 30 - and just completed all the other hoops except cardiac clearance.

My big news is that last Friday, 9.26.2015, I gave up a 50 year diet Coke habit cold turkey. I am 63 and started at 13. The only other time I quit for a significant length of time was for 3 months with the lap band and 9 months with pregnancy.

I have decided that this 6 month NUT period is like being pregnant with the new me. Putting me first is new to me, and I am very proud of myself.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

I've got two PCP monitored weight loss appointments left and I finished my psych eval. Which was the last of the program related hurdles.

It's getting close. It's getting real and I'm getting a little scared.

Happy to hear everyone is chugging along towards January!

I have completed all of my surgical requirements except for the remainder of my nutritionist appointments. October is my 3rd nutritionist appointment so I'm almost half way there! ????

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
