Nah, I am revision. I remember my pre-op diet. It went by fast and at first it was hard! We got this and it's all about moving forward!

So true. I'm just dreading it because my hubby's birthday and then our wedding anniversary are going to be in the middle of my preop diet lmao

I'm tentatively scheduled for RNY on July 2, so I'll be quietly lurking in the shadows on this group. I can be like the a very distant cousin in your little family LOL

I'm a teacher, so my bariatric team knew that I wanted a summer surgery. I'll be done with all of my requirements Monday April 29, so I'm a little ahead of the game.

Good luck to us all!

Welcome to our little thread!!! I know how you're feeling. I'm terrified but soooo excited. I thought June wouldn't get here fast enough but it seems like the days are flying by now lol. I started to slowly buy stuff for my preop and post OP diet. What kind of preop diet are you having to do?

Thank you!

Thats a good idea, I should start prepping to. I also plan on clearing all of my cupboards out!

My private surgeon (I’m in the UK), is putting me on ‘the milk diet’ for 2 weeks prior to surgery.

It will, it will, I am 73 , a gastric bypass of less than a year, have lost 130 pounds from my highest weight, 97 pounds since surgery last September 5th. And I would have sworn it would never happen, I just couldn't diet and keep it off, Lord a Mercy, I did try, should have been awarded an Effort Trophy. But I am sure doing it now, don't even look like me anymore since I lost my round moon face. But I will be something special when I am through, no big thing if I start resembling my dead relatives, they are in no state to complain.
So June will be the Wonder month for you all, and we will all cheer you on!

Thank you :) I think I’m going to need you all xx

Not, we have both lived better over the last 4 years. However, we have never gotten to the goals we have select. My GERD is really an issue. He has other issues. Yes we have had some degree of success. It's not over for this phase of healthy living.

      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.
