I'm getting nervous and not sleeping lately. I am doing okay on my pre-op diet. I may try frozen Jello too.

I'm having the same problem! Don't sleep very good and I'm completely emotional! And, every time my husband and kids cook something, the smell makes it feel like my big guts are eating my little guts! Lol!

I can't believe that this time next week my gastric bypass surgery will be done. I was very happy to hear today that my son will fly to Mexico to support me during my recovery time. I wish I could leave today. The diet has been a lot easier than I anticipated. I am not really that hungry and I don't have any cravings. I am sure that they will be back after I have recovered from my surgery. I have lost about 5 to 7 pounds during my first week. Not quite sure, because I didn't jump on the scale until about 2 days of dieting. Regardless I am happy with that. I have 110 pounds to lose and it is not going to happen overnight. Has anyone already had their surgery this month? I would love to know how you are doing.

Yes I'm on day 2 of 4x Boost high Protein and I'm allowed 1 small cup of Greek yogurt a day

I'm on day 5 and at a college football game. It's tough today, honestly. I get 3x Protein Drinks + sf Jello, popsicles and Water. Lots and lots of water. The 12th needs to get here quicker

Hi September Bypass Buddies,
I would like to know how many of you are doing the Sleeve versus the Bypass? I am a bypass on 9/11.
Cheers,

      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.
