I saw my surgeon for the first time in December and have been doing the 6 month supervised diet with my regular Dr. I have 2 more supervised visits before I get my insurance approval. Hopefully there won't be any problems getting approved. My surgeon said they can schedule surgery 2 weeks after approval. So, I could be looking at an early August surgery day. Just in time for my birthday! :-)

I start my liquid diet in two weeks.

I've been stocking up on Protein powder and canned things I'll need for purée in the first weeks after.

I ordered opurity chewable Vitamins for bariatric surgery. I ran out of my normal Multivitamin and started on them.

They are huge!!!! I hate chewable vitamins and these the five times the size of the typical chewables.

I don't know how I'm going to choke them down.

@meganski I think you already sent me a private message and I got it earlier so I can add you. If not send me one so I can find you on FB. The page is set on secret so people cant find it even by the link anymore. We did that to protect the privacy of members on the page. There are a few that arent telling people. Our page is for summer sleevers June, July and August. Our first surgery out of our group os tomorrow.

      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.
