Recommended Posts

All I've been told is 1200 calories; I'll have to ask on Wednesday if there are restrictions within the 1200 calories. I think I'll be ok as long as I know what I'm allowed to have...

My surgery is May 13. In Dallas. starting soft food monday for 4 days then liquid. Love to stay connected with you all. Starting to feel very nervous. Mostly about the emotional stuff. I have a really stressful job with a lot of things going on. Need to keep my head on straight.

When you click on the person's name.....then scroll towards the bottom and there is a button that say's "add me as a friend".....I'm working from a lap top I don't know if it's different if you're working from a phone.

I could use a buddy but my surgery is not until 19th... Curiosity question how long are you taking off work? I work from home so I think 3 weeks is a little excessive.

Hi you're welcome to join our group....and you'll get to see all of our experiences before yours.......

I work from home as well! Here's my plan. My surgery will be on a Monday I have scheduled that week off and plan on working again the following Monday......And if I'm one of the ones who feels great after surgery I may work as early as Thursday....just going to play that part by ear.

So how long has it taken everyone to get to this point??.......I think a good indicator to use would be the initial seminar (I'm pretty sure everyone has to do that??)

My seminar was March 8th, so for me just a little over 2 months.....I know that's not as long as a lot of folks but it still feels like forever to me!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
