February 2016 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I went to sleep at 8:30 last night after a hot bubble bath, a Protein shake, and preparing Soup for tonight's meal. My husband has taken over the kids homework (we usually work in tandem) and making dinner for the 3 of them.

I work for a company that buys groceries and we got some samples in of Quest Protein powders (individual packs and different packaging) that will hit the shelves end of February. They have a salted caramel is simply the best. I wish it was available now. I can't hardly stomach strawberry powder because of the smell. I am definitely going to enjoy having some Soup tonight.

I walk with friends 1 mile in the morning and 1 mile in the afternoon and I find myself not being able to keep up. I sure hope the tiredness ends soon. That's the worst part of this diet, well that and the lack of coffee!

Only 13 more days to go!

First day of the pre-op diet, I am so excited to start. I know it might be a struggle at times but I know I can do it. I weighed and measured myself to track my progress and am tracking my food in myfitnesspal (I've used the app forever.) The day of surgery I will repeat the process so I can track my progress.

A little shock this A.M. as Paloma called me from the hospital saying my driver would be there in 15 minutes. Turns out when I rescheduled my original appointment they forgot to cancel the fiirst one, oops.

Thank you! Sore all over like I got beat up but stomach-wise? Pretty great! Just sampled my dinner tray - chicken broth, sugar free Popsicle, lime green Jello and strawberry-kiwi Protein Shake. First time I've been awake to eat the broth hot lol. Just little bites though. They told me the Protein is most important so I saved it for last since I'm going to actually consume all of it.

So excited for all of you guys though. It's surreal to actually have gotten it done!

Third day on diet so much better. I went to bed around 9ish last night and woke up this morning around 6:00a.m. I usually go to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 5:30, so my body must have needed the rest. I had a shake for Breakfast and I am eating a Subway salad for lunch with lemon and a little balsamic on the side.

The preop diet gets a little easier. I have had headaches from the caffeine withdrawal but they are getting better, and I wasn't as tired this morning.

        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
