Welcome! i am scheduled for July 5th. i am new to this support group and looking for a few people to keep in touch with that are starting around the same time that I am. I feel that going through it with someone that is also going through it, may make it a bit easier as far as support goes. How are you doing with preparations?

Good morning!

So far, I have just watched YouTube videos of people's week by week progress, some post op on what to take to the hospital, and what to expect the first couple weeks. Doin it in Mexico, I don't have the siminarz to go to, or a doctor to ask questions. I have quiet a few clients who've had it done, and so I'm kinda just gathering info right now. Are you excited? Anxious?

I spent the day yesterday with an 80 yr old health food nut, and I'll tell ya, the drink she made for me was some kind of scary, not something I could see myself doing on a long term deal. How are you gettin ready for the big day?

@@2tired2befat sorry for the delayed response. My notifications don't seem to be coming through.

I never thought about watching some videos on youtube, what a good idea. I have been to seminars many year ago but because I am paying out of pocket, the requirements are not there for me. I am getting very excited about my surgery. In some ways it has been a 7 year dream that is finally coming true.

I have started trying to get all the enentials for the puree section of the first couple weeks.i want to make sure that mentally I am ready and that I have all the supplies.

Have you gotten all your supplies yet? How long will you be in Mexico recovering?

Feel free to private message me too. I'd love to get to know you more and become support buddies since we are so close in surgery dates!

@@PRINCESS2218 funny thing, my surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet stage. Just 2 weeks of low carb.

How are you doing in your preparations for surgery?

Did you have to take classes?

I understand that feeling completely. I hit a point in the scale where I felt if I weighed one more pound i would just bust into tears. What is your starting weight?

That is too funny. I hate grocery shopping. It is my least favorite chore. If I could buy all my produce and cold foods online I would. Haha. I did just recently order my Vitamins and Protein powder.

I ordered two different one for now. I love coffee, like can't live without it so I got the Chike coffee flavored. Figured I could get my Protein and my coffee. And the I ordered the unflavored Isopure. I love it because I can really out it in anything and it doesn't taste like it is there. So when I have a Protein shake i just put a few berries in a blender with a little milk and it is delish.

Is there a certain kind of.protein powder that you like?

I have a hard time with finding bars and shakes I like because I do not really like chocolate all that much.

      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.
