BikiniBeachy - hope you're feeling better this morning. One day at a time even those of us not having a great time of it will get through. It's all the little goals at this point - today I stood up straight without my back hurting as badly and did 10 minutes of yoga stretching. That already makes it better than yesterday. Hang in there.

"Oh my GOD, what did I just do to myself?"

sounds normal to me! I had terrible, debilitating pain prior to a back surgery and had the same reaction right after the surgery! Of course, the end result is that I only rarely have back pain now and probably not more than an "average" person who screws up and overdoes occasionally...but still! I can't imagine we won't ALL say that post-op. The thing is: short term pain for long term gain. Cliche but the truth. We all want to live longer and have a higher quality of life!!!!

Question for those who have been on the pre-op diet: is it okay to use SF Creamer in coffee and what about COOKED veggies? My pre-op diet info says raw vegetables.

Thanks!

OMG!!! I had to take neomycin today as part of my preop! I became soooo nauseated, I had to stop on my way to work to vomit.:smile2::Banane27::laugh:

But, I feel a little better now, I have been sipping on gatorade today, tomorrow is around the corner!!!:Banane53:

Congrats on your surgery date! Mine is Oct 22 also. My real b-day is Oct 23 so I thought it was kind of symbolic:smile: Have you started your pre-op diet?

Anne - with my pre-op diet it was fat content as well as sugar content. I would probably avoid the creamer. I was allowed cooked veggies, but fewer of them than raw (1 cup raw = 1 serving, 1/2 cup cooked = 1 serving)

Good luck to everyone the next few days!

I seem to have finally turned a corner - still not feeling wonderful but a definite upswing at last.

Hello,

I was able to have SF creamer in my coffee all the way up to the day before surgery. On the day before surgery... it was all CLEAR LIQUIDS!

Well, I'm banded!! Didn't have a good day yesturday but I sort of expected that. I have a great deal of trouble sleeping because I sleep on my stomach. The gas is non-existent and my throat is much better.

I'm glad the surgery is over. Now I follow the food plan, keep a journal, try to find an unflavored Protein Powder, and start some type of exercise program.

      Hey guys new to the process looking forward to this new life.

      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.
