Anything else you'd like to share?

I recently graduated from nursing school and am working as an RN in ICU. I'm a little worried about my energy level post surgery, but hopefully things will be ok. I will have 3 weeks off before returning to work. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and am feeling very under-prepared. I don't like Slim Fast type drinks at all-- they make me gag. I'm pretty picky. I bought the nectar type protein packets and plan to use those as much as possible. I'm also going to look around online and order some things. I should have done this earlier-- I know! I live in a small town with very few local options.

I had never really understood why people didn't want to tell others they were having surgery until recently. I told someone at work and she said "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??" in a really "I can't believe you'd even consider that" tone. Then today at church, a man who is super healthy and teaches spin classes was trying to tell my all of the reasons why I shouldn't have the surgery. He then texted me later and apologized, but really-- I'm a nurse. I know the pros and cons. I've been overweight all of my life. I've tried every diet out there. I've gone through phases where I worked out like crazy and still never got to what would be considered a healthy weight. I can see that he considers this drastic, but I have considered it all. :-/

Happy to have found this thread! I'm having VSG on August 9 with Dr. Garcia.

I finally found you but it doesn't give me the option of adding you as a friend. Strange! You can add me, Joyce Yager in Missouri

So it turns out I'm missing my 10 year high school to get the sleeve instead. This is playing major head games with me, split between wanting to reunite with all my old friends, and wanting to hide under a rock embarrassed of what I look like. I guess that's what FB is for, so here's to a new me, and my 20 year reunion where I plan to have six pack abs.

Hey Joyce, I sent out a request =)

Name: Beth

Age: 46

Surgery date: August 13th

Surgeon: Dr. Adolpho Fernandez, Winston-Salem, NC

Just like so many others, I've struggled with being overweight all my life. I've lost substantial amounts of weight numerous times only to gain it all back, and then some. I researched WLS for years. Only when I recently saw a photograph of myself did I finallly gain the courage to begin the process, dedicating myself to this lifestyle change. I have a fabulous supportive husband and two exhausting wonderful kids, ages 6 and 5. I am looking forward to weaing my original wedding set, answering the phone without someone saying "did you run to the phone?", and of course, spending many fantastic years with my family.

I'm on day six of a three week pre-op diet.

Thank you to all who post on this board. The information is so very helpful!
