Looking for post op and Pre op friends



Recommended Posts

I am Pre op i am about one month away from getting my surgery date and excited to have a life again. I am 24 years old and I am 370lbs. I can't wait to be able to go shopping with out being in pain or my hips giving out. My husband and I want to have more kids we have one 8yo son now but I can't get pregnant anymore because of my weight. I want to have fun with my son and run and go on rids and live. I just can't wait to get my life back. I hope that I can find people on here going threw what I am going threw either now or before surgery any advice or comments

Hi Healthyamy, I am pre-op as well. Only I don't have a date yet! I'm waiting for my insurance through my husbands work to start next month and go form there! Although I'm not too confident that weight loss surgery will be covered. Boo! Anyway, I'm keeping my options open and staying prayerful that I'll have the surgery sooner rather than later. I am new to this forum and know that I'll need friends as well through this process. I'd be happy to chat with you and hopefully encourage you as well. I do feel your pain about not being able to get around comfortably. Knee , back and hip pain! The struggle is real girl! Good luck with everything that is coming your way. Here's to smaller clothes in the not so distant future.

In January when I started the process I was 275lbs with the of my PCP and surgeon I lost around 10-12lbs pounds before starting the pre-op diet. After pre-op diet I lost 20-21lbs and went into surgery around 246. As of today I am 222lbs that's a total of 53 pounds.

@omerbrasa2807, that is awesome! What does it feel like to loose so much weight in such a short amount of time?

@@healthyamy, thank you! I figure if I speak it into the universe, the powers that be will set into motion the desires of my heart! I decree and declare it in the name of God!

        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
