Hello April buddies! I’m planning on having gastric bypass. haven’t had my surgery date scheduled yet, but am hoping for an April date. I’ve done all the labs, tests, psych evaluation and two nutrition visits. Last things on my list are EGD and 3rd nutrition visit before sending off for approval.

Throughout the process, I’ve been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, insulin resistance and hypertension. These are all issues I was fairly aware of and just kept putting off testing until this year. Hope everyone has a smooth journey!

I just bought fair life Protein Shakes to try one of each and I also bought the elite core which has 42 g of Protein but 11 g of carbs going to try those this week, I also bought the protein Water, don’t know if I will like them I’m not a big fan of flavored water, so we’ll see!

Where’d you find the fair life Protein Shakes? I’d like to buy some .
I found them at BJ's warehouse the other day. Didn't buy them but it was under $20 for a pack of 12 (don't remember cost exactly). It's about the same as Premier Protein at $18 for 12.

I am going to ask if I can buy my own shakes but on the papers it says that everyone goes on Bariatric Advantage for 2 weeks before:( I do hope that I can buy my own but I am not holding breath on it.. I will have to adjust and figure it out for 2 weeks one way or another. I just think this will be the hardest part for me..

Hey... I’m hoping for an April date but I won’t know until another week or so. I’m so excited, anxious, & ready to take this new step. Finding this forum is the best. I’ve read so much and learned so much.

      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.
