Greetings, I plan to just tell everyone I am at a strong point in my weight watching and will only be able to have little. I expect most to commend me for my efforts. Good luck

Hip! Hip! Hooray!

I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet. I started on the November 7th. 10 days of low carb slimfast and Clear Liquids only. I envy some of the people on here that get to eat a lean cuisine for dinner :D But on the bright side I only have 4 more days until surgery (Nov 17th!) and I have lost 7 lbs since I started the diet.

Congrats!!!! :D

Thanks! I just started panicking, because I only have four and a half days before my pre-op diet starts. I've been eating low refined carbs and having a lot of Protein Drinks as replacement meals, just to ease myself into it. But, now I feel like eating everything in sight! I feel like having a Diet Coke, too! ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

Congratulations! You and I will be one day apart on everything. I start the pre-op on the 17th and have surgery on the 24th. We can check in on each other!

Eleven more days until band day! Pre op visit with my surgeon went well today. Stress test and echo in the AM. So everything is coming together. I am actually getting excited. Hubby is wonderful and very supportive. My employer was not happy because of the upcoming Holidays and staffing issues. I will be off until the week after Christmas due to the type of work I do. Oh well, I never miss work and I have Short Term Disability to cover so I am going to enjoy.

Looks like a lot of us will be thankful for no turkey on the 27th. I am trying to set things up in my business so they will leave me alone post surg for a week or so. It will be hard without telling them. I think will tell them they can email me but not to call. Where do they have internet but no phones?

Let me know when you find someplace without phones and with internet!!! But..when I last visited my family in Southern Indiana my cell phone would not work unless I walked to the top of a hill and internet was only dial up!!! That may be as close as you get.

      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. 🤞
