Feb 7th Surgery....anyone else and where?



Recommended Posts

Ok...so, it's getting real. I have completed 1 week of the pre-op diet. It's going well and have dropped 13lbs. Tonight I tried a different Soup and totally regret it. I feel like my taste buds are already changing.

So, this time next week. I will almost be landing in San Diego and the next morning, off to see Dr. Illan. Can't wait!

I'm on for Feb 6th. Pre-op diet has been minimal for me. From reading here that is weird. Only 1 Meal Replacement and liquids the day before. Super exciting! We're gonna do great!

A couple of us are sleeved now! Yay! To the beginning of a new life. It's not often we get a reset button. I had surgery Monday and was home b Tuesday afternoon.

I'm really struggling getting my fluids and Protein in today. Not gonna be too hard on myself because my tiny tummy is healing.

How's everybody doing?

Congrats!!!! How did you do your first week? Did you have any cheats or moments of weakness? Today is my day 1 of liquids and it feels like the day that is never going to end! Surgery date is 2/15!

I was lucky. I lived on Protein Shakes and pureed/chopped wonton Soup. I did well and lost 22lbs in the 14 days.

I did have a food funeral before the liquid diet. But I didn't allow myself to cheat in fear I would screw up the liver shrinkage and surgery co u lent be completed.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
