Betsy, do yourself a favor.. start the prep early like around 1 or 2 at the latest !! I did and was done running to the bathroom by around 8 or 9. If you start any later, you will be running to the bathroom all night and you won't get enough sleep.

well all, called lisa this a.m., and told her i can't take this anymore, on mothers day, took my meds at 8:30 a.m. and at 6 p.m., i brought up something without effort, and when i took it out of my mouth, it was my protonix!!! with the name clearly marked on the pill along with the coating, just like it came out of the bottle! anyway, the earliest they can get me in for the barrium swallow is mon. the 18th @'8:30... i just hope i'm tight and don't have a slipped band like he suggested a few weeks ago..i'll keep you guys posted...vicki

Vicki,

It really upsets me that they didnt look into this earlier. I would think that they would make a problem a higher priority!

Good luck on monday and let us know

Good morning ladies,

It's me LiveLoveLaugh Cynthia I've been missing in action for some time now and I have to confess to some things. Seems since my partial (large)unfill in Jan/09 from being a bit over filled that day. I'm back to some bad habit's. I'm snacking at night before bed, eating beyond full, eating some slider foods or just not taking the time to think about my choices. At first I thought I won't say anything to the post since I'm a ashamed at admitting to all this, but heck why should I do that??? I need to reach out and ask for some help. I'm standing still in my weight loss at this point, I have some wonderful supporting friends that KNOW JUST HOW I FEEL..... So I'm asking for some help!! I see Dr. Hoffman tomorrow morning @ 8:15 for my second fill since that Jan. unfill. I know I just need to find that sweet spot once again to re-start weight loss once more, just I wish my head hunger was turned off like it was when I had that Sweet spot back in early fall.

I believe that the Wed. meeting is this week May 20th? Will anyone be there this week?

Thanks for letting me vent......

        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
