I was born in Oklahoma! My dad went to OSU, but I grew up near Norman so I'm a Sooner fan. Good luck with your surgery!

Hi All,

Pretty new on here from Northern Canada! I'm scheduled for Dec 17th - like boysenbear I'll be in Mexico.

Anyone else nervous and excited? I feel like I've read almost everything I can, pre-op diet starts in a couple weeks. Trying to develop good habits now... more Protein, more Water, smaller portions. I feel like I'm over-preparing... anyone else?

I also fluctuate between excited and moments of nerves and occasionally thinking WTH am I doing? LOL I'm also preparing...choosing Protein drinks, eating smaller portions, having less appetite from increase in Protein, getting paperwork and affairs finished before heading to Mexico! Shopping for supplements, making Christmas shopping lists...stuff to keep me busy and my mind off it all. The last few days I will be trying to relax, last minute packing, and getting a mani/pedi.

I think it's wiser to be over-prepared than under... ;)

I just finished reading "The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve" written by the people who run this site. Tons of good information (The chapter on risks tried to scare the pants off me, too bad the pants caught on a roll and I pulled 'em back up after the next chapter on the benefits). I too have the days of thinking WTH am I doing! I go from days or weeks of being so excited for post-op to anxious about pre-op. My husband is super supportive and only wants the best health benefits out of this for me, though he will mourn the loss of 'the girls'. We see a lift surgery in the future. haha

@@boysenbear are you taking any food / protein stuff with you to Mexico? I'll be there for a week, staying at an all inclusive - hubby will be doing the eating and drinking for us both. I was thinking of taking some Jello, Protein powder that can mix with Water, maybe some powdered Soup broth in case I can't get what I need from the hotel...

      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.
