Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for my sleeve 2/11/16 and I'm ready. I'm self-pay so no real requirements except to get the cash. Thank GOD for care credit and my 401K! I'm 5'7 about 245 pounds and want to weigh 145-150.

@@ssflbelle Day one of liquid pre-op down, 13 to go! The pre-op is not Clear liquids, it is sugar free Jello, SF pudding, cream Soups (no chunks), thinned cream of wheat, broths, Decaf coffee or tea, SF popsicles, nonfat milk. But I have to watch how much I eat because I am limited to 800 calories.

@@L.o.v.e Thanks LOVE! Day two is almost done with! Just enjoying a bowl of cream of potato Soup that has been whipped to a full cream! Kinda glad to be going thru this right now. The warm Soups are a comfort on these frigid days! Couldn't imagine doing them in hot, humid days!

Your right summer heat and adjusting to food and body changes could be challenging. Keep up the good work...

I am February also!! Glad you enjoyed your holidays, even if it wasn't exactly what you were hoping for. I know that waiting is frustrating. I also had to do the 6 months of supervised dieting. I have my pre-op visit on Friday so I'm sure I'll be starting my pre-op diet and all of that! Excited to find other people on a similar schedule to mine!!

Just think you all will be smoking hot this summer

Is it wrong to say I kinda fantasize about this being a real possibility this summer? I want to wear a bathing suit that doesn't have a skirt on it!

        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
