What is a FUPA lol?

Fat upper pubic area - that dangling kangaroo pouch, so attractive. And jiggly.

If I don't show up at Panera on July 16, follow the trail of giant toothmarks along the highway back to Seattle. You may find me eating skyscrapers. I'll bet they crunch like chicken bones.

Not coincidentally, I'm ready for an award for almost making it through another day surviving on freakin' liquids. I did some errands to get away from my kitchen. But did you know that office supply stores have mesmerizing food aisles? How about Petco - those frosted doggy treats look delicious, but I'd even settle for some kangaroo jerkey from the checkout temptations shelf.

I'm not technically hungry, I know I know, but this sure feels like another crash diet and I am OVER IT already!

So, the low-cal crankiness has apparently set in at my house. How are you guys doin'?

Ha ha ha! This made me laugh. Glad you're keeping your sense of humor!

I've enjoyed hearing about everyone's recovery so far. I have a consult appt. with Dr. Srikanth at the end of this week. I'm excited and nervous! Based on my insurance, I'll probably be cleared in Oct/Nov to have the surgery. I'd still love to be part of your support group though. I think hearing your experience might help me know what is coming my way.

One more thing, did anyone have a nutritionist/dietician that they liked in the Auburn/Federal Way area? I need one for my pre-op requirements.

Hey Jen, would love to have you join us.

My insurance did not require nutrition visits. When you consult at Dr Srikanth's office, their care coordinator will confirm your insurance requirements and then provide you with referral options.

Thanks, they referred me to ATI physical therapy and nutrition but thought maybe someone has someone they really like.

Hi all! This thread quieted down a while back, but I thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing?

What's new? How's life? What's your status?

I'm working through my 2 week preop diet. 9 more days!!

Congrats! How are you handling the preop diet?

I swing between being totally starving and feeling satisfied and fine. I never knew how much love I could feel for a cup of carrots!

I do feel a little less energetic than usual, so I hope I adjust to the reduced calories soon and get my mojo back. I would kill for a cup of tea right now!

You are GHC right? Has Overlake called to set your surgery time yet? I'm still waiting to find out when mine is.

      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.
