February Surgery Buddies!



Recommended Posts

Mine is scheduled for 2/19. This is my first post and thought I'd just read instead of jumping in to the discussions but I'm going to need the support and most of y'all seem super nice and helpful!

Ask any questions you want, we all want to help anyway we can. I'm pre surg myself although I've been a Bariatric Pal for several months. We have a lot of WLS veterans on here, they have or are still fighting pounds on their journeys but still have time to mentor and encourage us all. I'm 72, planning early-mid March RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus Ohio. More frightened of not having surgery than the actual surgery. I can do this. I'm in it to win it. Won't be the walk in the park it is for the younger ones but I can still rescue a smaller size and good health from the grasp of chubbyhood. Care to join me on this long fruitful journey? The best is just ahead.

My bypass is also Feb. 27th. I've been thinking about doing this for so many years and now I'm just ready to get this done!! I have to do a liquid diet on Monday. I was talking to a friend about her bypass that she had 15 years ago. Boy!! Have things changed! She knew nothing about the amounts of Vitamins and minerals she needs to maintain her health!

Dunno. Hoping to find the other flavors at Sam's today but suspect it might be an Amazon purchase.
[mention=334415]KayeQuiroz80[/mention] It's so much better than the Isopure Clear, but yeah, it does have a tannic/citric acid feel to it. I cut it with Water and it helps. But glad the world is made of all kinds of peeps with different tastes! [emoji3]

Sam’s only had fruit punch (not a fruit punch fan) but I found the other 2 flavs, orange/mango (my favorite) and Raspberry on Amazon.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
