Quick question everyone...why can't we (on full liquid pre-op diets)have Soups that are low in fat and calories instead of liquid soups? I'm just curious. A lot of them are lower in calories and fat and are probably better for you. What's the deal with that. Does it have to do with how it breaks down in the body?

i too am getting banding Oct 22. sometimes i think about how close it is and i feel like i am going to have an anxiety attack. i have had a few major surgeries and i felt the same way when i was going to have them. i guess it's normal.

my dr. e-mailed me a couple of videos to watch on the computer. i almost wished i hadn't watched them.

hey gottabthin! I to find myself thinking constantly of swimming and not dying because I can not make it the whole lap. I swam competition as a teenager and my goal is to be able to have the endurance to swim like that again, not the speed, the strength just to make it.

TO THE 21ST WE GO......

hI ALL; sucessfully banded oct 11/08 by Dr Corvala in Tijuana, Mexico. Cannot praise the staff enough , surgery was very easy. Care was excellent. Would highly recommend. :thumbup: I currently in San Diego overnight on my way to las vega to meet my family:smile:. I feel very good, just a little sore. I slept alot while I had the chance and I think this helps heal.

I go for my preadmission testing on the 16th, 1 week before surgery. I have surgery on the 21st and started my preop diet friday night and I am currently starving, I think my body trying to adjust to the shock gave me a Migraine this morning on my way to the Doctors office for my evaluation with the personal trainer to set up an exercise plan to work with, so I was bad and skipped my morning classes because I was having a hard time functioning and I needed to be at my evening classes so I came home and slept for a while which helped. What has been helping me with the hunger is I keep distracting myself with, homework, my Mom calling to check on me 2 and 3 times a day, as well as playing a game on my laptop, plus getting outside and walking. Ok I think I am starting to ramble and its time for me to go to bed since its 4 am here. Congrats on everyones upcoming surgeries.

That is Great news!

I am 11 days out now and am finally feeling really back to "normal" as in my gas pains and rock in the stomach feelings are pretty much gone! I finally went out to town to Tarjay yesterday and had a blast! (I reaaaaly missed walking the stores)

I am 10 lbs down and just thrilled. I get my staples out on Thursday and first official weigh in on the docs scale.

Have a beautiful day!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
