August 2018 sleeve surgery!!



Recommended Posts

Surgery tomorrow. Waiting for the call today so I know when to show up at the hospital.

Ready for the pre-op diet to be over. Post-op diet not easy either, but at least much more variety.

[mention=343065]Starr2015[/mention] OMG I feel so weak at work this morning. I had to go with Gatorade low sugar because the regular is just too sweet for me. Its weird because before it lacked sugar lol. I used a Protein Powder with 60grams of Protein. Of course I only used half of it with my herbalife shake formula which I love banana caramel and it tasted horrible as well. I am done with this liquid stage but can't tolerate anything else. I order some things from Bariatric pal to eat for this week and they should arrive to me job today. I cannot wait lol
I notice you take Herbalife shakes that's ok for protein shakes.i love Herbalife shakes

Home from surgery. Went well and I was discharged yesterday before noon. Just using Tylenol for pain. Definitely not hungry. I did gain 4 pounds.

Hi friends I had my surgery yesterday. I’m still feeling weak and sore but much better than yesterday. Good luck to everyone having their surgery in the next couple of days. You’re going to do absolutely amazingly.

My surgery was originally scheduled for next week on Thursday but the hospital called me last week to tell me that the anesthesiologists wouldn't clear me because I had stents put in last December and would have to wait until a year had passed. So, my surgery has been rescheduled for Dec 13th. Needless to say I was disappointed since I have been working on getting all the appointments etc for almost 2 years, but Dec. is only 4 months away and I expect it will go quickly since I just started school Aug 20th. I am taking Intro to Russian at East Carolina University and so far I love the course. I also signed up for a pottery course. So my time should be filled up and pass quickly. The only drawback is that since the VA is doing my surgery I will have to travel to Huntington, WV in the winter instead of the summer. Here's hoping the weather is not a problem. I hope all of you who have had the surgery are doing well.

EasternNC I am sorry. That must have been disappointing. December is right around the corner and journey is continuing. It hasn’t halted. Big hug friend

Thanks, Marisol. I was disappointed but I took it in stride because it is for my own good. I have to come off the Plavix for a week for the surgery and six months is too soon. So I understand the reason was so psyched for August. I am taking it better than I would have in the past. But I'm 66 now so I am wiser! Pat

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
