My surgery date is October 19th. I can't wait for the day to come. I am so sick and tired of being so obese. Also, I suffer from chronic back pain and hauling around all this weight does not help. I have been on the pre-op liquid diet since October 5th and have only lost 5 Lbs. I admit I did a little cheating, such as a slice of cheese and salt on my vegetables. I'm disappointed that I have lost so little. I'm worried that my weight loss post surgery will be slow going.

Is there a group for October surgical candidates?

@@toli @@southbound it sounds like I'm doing something wrong. It's really weird it's in the afternoon I get these crazy slumps. I'm allowed soft foods so each day having 2 eggs, 1/2 tub cottage cheese and 1 of my 15g Protein shake. Then lots of Water. So I'm

not hitting 50g Protein. Are you guys managing 50g ?

I am not starting soft foods until later this week. I'm doing cream Soups or homemade Soups (mother in law made me a "bone soup" - supposedly has a good amount of protein). I've been getting most of my protein in from the shakes though. I use Premier Protein.

Quick question - have any of you heard of the Lovenox shot? Is this something that will be required prior to surgery? I've heard about this shot but not sure if it's mandatory for all sleevers.

I'm not sure if I had a Lovenox shot before surgery or during, but definitely had one the day after. It is to prevent blood clots. It didn't even hurt. They give it in your stomach.

I have a gene mutation that makes me more likely to have clotting issues so yes, I've heard of it.

I will have to continue after surgery for two weeks giving myself injections. As the last poster said, they are given in your belly and they don't hurt at all.

Unless they are worried about you having a clot, you probably will only get the shots in the hospital.

I had the lovenox every 12 hours after surgery for 3 doses didn't hurt when then inject it low on your belly, one nurse shot me right below my drain which is up higher and I was not happy with it so make sure they go low!!!! It's a blood thinner so you don't get a clot, I don't have a blood disorder and have never had a blood clot so I'm guessing it was preventative.

      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.
