Hi everyone! Today is my first day on this site and I hope it will help me through this journey. My surgery is scheduled two weeks from today 4-25-11. Today was the first day on my pre-op diet and it started good but by late afternoon I broke down. But tomorrow is a new day and I will be okay. I'm 29 and currently weigh 332 pounds, I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I feel like I know what to expect just from reading blogs and books but at the same time I think maybe I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm open to any advice...

I don't know that I could have ever done that pre-op diet. LOL I have done Medifast and did okay for like 6 weeks but somehow the idea of the pre-op diet would have been horrible to me. However, the day before my surgery I did my own liquid diet and by night time I was not a happy camper and I ate a cinnamon bun. oops!

You are starting around the same weight as me. I started at 338 and now weigh 317. I had my surgery on 3/29/11. You will do great, just keep your eye on the prize! Good luck!!!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
