Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, January 17 is my sleeve date. First week on shake has all the usual suspects, headaches, hunger pains, but still not too anxious but I know that will change. Wishing all of you much success and health!

My surgery is scheduled Jan 23rd. Start my pre-op liquid diet Tuesday and I’m pretty overwhelmed. Feel like I’m not very organized when it comes to meal planning! I’m a picky eater so that’s making things tough..
anyone used any good unflavored Protein powders? Any good ideas on how my meals should go these 2 weeks pre-op? Thanks in advance!

Hi, my favorite no-taste, no-smell, doesn't show in liquids is this one...I got it on Amazon. 11g Protein for 12g weight (one scoop). So it becomes easy to get your daily proteins!

Hi all, Morgen (Mo) here.
I've got my pre-op appointment scheduled for midday on January 18th with Dr. Emma Patterson at Oregon Weight Loss Surgery in Portland, OR. I'm hoping the surgery itself will be scheduled for the following week, or at least by the end of January. I'm a bit uneasy though, as I haven't lost any weight since my last weigh-in on 12/21/17, which is frustrating. Anybody have any suggestions for re-igniting a stalled weight loss? I'd really like to be down another 5lbs or more by my visit.

Hope all goes well! I had to do pre op diet and only thing is will power really I had to stop myself when I had the though" one last one won't hurt" high Protein is good doesn't have to be bland, well seasoned poached check breast, carrots I loved good luck!

Hey how did it all go? X

Now that I’m a few days out, I’m starting to feel normal again. Thank you for asking!
No hunger, having a little bit of a challenge to get all my fluids in.
I came out of anesthesia in a lot of pain but they quickly knocked me out with morphine. My iv bent once I was in my room and they couldn’t get a vein, so I went for a little over an hour without pain meds and that sucked! The first night I just told the nurse to come in every 3 hrs with the morphine. I have an on-q numbing pump also, so the area of my stomach is completely numb. I only have pain at my lower incisions, and now they are just uncomfortable. No real issues with gas pain, and my incisions are so tiny I don’t think I’ll have any scars. I had robotic laparoscopic. The days are dragging though! Never read or watched so many tv shows before lol!

Had mine on 1/4!! First few days was painful from the gas but other than that, I’m doing well. A little sore and swollen on one side but that’s about it. Still no BM tho

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
