Hello everyone! Well I have to think positive at this point and consider my liquid diet portion a dress rehearsal. My real liquid diet will start again in about 2 weeks. I have an unconfirmed surgical date of 9/16. Which will hopefully be confirmed on Monday. I have learned from experience that I will have to keep on the staff at my surgeons office. They have dropped the ball in the past.

When this is over I am going to have a chat with my surgeon about his office staff and their reflection on him. I have to hope that he is unaware of the way they are doing their jobs. All I can say is as nurse, this is no way to treat your patients.

Sorry for the rant I just had to get that off my chest. I vow to be positive from now on!! :D

Thats awful! Im a nurse also...... we tend to see things that others dont. I hope things turn around for you! You know what we say about the squeaky wheel :)

I have found that after everything I have seen so far, I am a lot calmer about surgery. I will be restarting my liquids on Aug. 30 to get ready for surgery. At least I am now prepared for it. I guess you could call my first run at this a try out! I am more sure of what I should do to meet requirements now!

Thanks SkinnyGalinFatPersonsBody, for noticing. Are you having surgery in Sept. also?

I am scheduled for 9/22. It seems like it took them forever to schedule. Ive been out of visits for 6 weeks now. Havent been doimg too well on my diet. I started partial liquid yest and then full liquid 2 weeks prior.

So why did they postpone your surgery?

My surgery was postponed because I was taking Advil and that's a no no! Due to the fact that it's a blood thinner. I start my liquids again on Aug. 30.

Like lolly I meet my surgeon on the first to get my date. My clinic only has a two day prep diet, so it can go pretty quickly. So excited to stop preparing and start doing. I'm down 34 from my first appointment in March, doing well I think. We'll see as I am spending the first week of September on vacation in Breckinridge with my hubby for our anniversary. Best of luck to you all, can't wait to see where we all are next September!

Oh, I live in a little town just outside Green Bay, wi.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
