Shoelace, besides being really sore with bending down to pick something up almost impossible, I’m feeling much better. The first 2 days are the worst but everyday after that has been just a little bit easier. You got this guys! If I could do it you can definitely you it!

With 28 pages, hard to read them all or remember what I’ve read. Do I have a November 19 surgery twin on topic?

Hi all. I’m a new approved sleever set for November 13th ... I’m a teacher and in the Houston area.. so, this is the best date for me- right before thanksgiving!
I had to put up a fight with the doctors office staff, but I finally got a date the week of Thanksgiving. Sine I’m also having both knees replaced in the Spring, and I’m in education, as well, my FML will only cover the knee surgeries. Being mindful. Good luck and please keep me updated as you go. I’ll be at Houston Northwest Medical Center. Is Houston ISD with TRS, as well? My OFP is $5k + 20%.

If you have access to a sams club the cases of protein2o are 15.96 instead of 25 on Amazon..fyi

It's 14 day total I am on day 10. I think scheduling broth for lunch and dinner helped. Plus I bought Protein Water and I could have up to 5 Protein Shakes a day. Dr said to get lower protein ones to make easier cuz you could have more vs 30g ones and limit you to 3 e day. I also am using a caramel Protein Shake as Creamer for Decaf. Trying to keep days as normal as possible.

I'm scheduled for this Thursday 11/8 as well. Starting to feel the nerves/anxiety but it'll go away the day of surgery for me. Good luck to everyone who already got sleeved or are getting ready this week!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
