Recommended Posts

:thumbdown:My surgery date is oct. 14th in St. Pete. Fl. by Dr. Rehnke, have been on my pre-op diet for almost a week now, lost 9 lbs. Hopefully all goes well, I know it will be nice to feel better but I've been on Unjury Protein diet, I bought it off the computer at www.unjury.com my doctor approved it because I tried the Optifast, too much sugar (17gm) way too much sugar, actually I gained weight. I had to reschedule my banding, my thyroid went real low (hypothyroidism) so after 6 wks. I'm back ready to get it done. Keep in touch! It's nice to know someone else cares too.:tt2:

Happy Birthday to all who has birthdays this month. I am having my surgery this Wednesday October 8th. My birthday will be October 15th. I told them I would love to have this for a birthday present so they made it happen. I am so excited but in another sense confused. I really want this surgery but I worry about all kinds of things. I am very worried that they will start and my liver will be too large. I have been on the high Protein diet this week. I always have trouble breathing after surgeries and I kind of panic about that but all and all I am excited and keep praying that I will come through and this will be the beginning of a new kind of living for me. I plan on following this diet! I refuse to be a failure at this. I will be 56 and I want to be happy and healthy for the remainder of time God grants me to have in this lifetime. Good Luck to All and I will keep you in my prayers.

Cheryl

I noticed that Froggi began a spreadsheet for the November folks. I started one for the Smashing Pumpkins (October bandsters) if anyone is interested.

If you send me your email address, I'll give you edit permissions. :-)

How do I get into it? I want to be included if possible. karebare714@insightbb.com I don't know what info you need. Just weight, age size, BMI or what? Thank you so much for doing this for us. I wish I was more technically intellectual.

I've added the following but that's up for discussion:

Surgery Date

Name

Highest Weight

Surgery Weight

Current Weight

Pounds Lost

Goal Weight

This is the first time I've shared a Google doc so once you get an invitation from me, please try to open the spreadsheet to revise. Then click "save and close." If you can't get in, let me know pls!

      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.
