Okay-how messed up is this...I am on this forum eating 2 pieces of white pizza pie! I find myself eating more because I know I am getting the surgery in 2 months! WTH? Did this happen to anyone else>:o

I did my 'goodbye tour' the last few days before going on my pre-op liquid diet. Wendy's french fries of all things. Confided to my Nutritionist and she said it's quite common. she called it 'Last Supper' syndrome.

Just be careful...I understand it because I'm to be banded on Monday and I'm going through the liquid diet and already mourning food that I won't be able to touch for the next month. Anyhow, my insurance company will not approve you if you don't lose weight or at least maintain your weight that you started with. If you gain, they will not approve your surgery. Just an FYI. I don't know if all of them are like that but mine was.

I pigged out for well over a month while getting all my testing and approval done!! Really not very smart! Now I am starving on the pre-op!!! But only 4 more days!!! I am being banded on next Wednesday!!

I have been going through the same thing. The closer to surgery the harder it is to eat right. During the 6 month supervised diet I initially lost 32 lbs but the last month I gained 7 of it back. Not happy about that part, but I still keep trying to eat good instead of giving up. I am looking forward to getting banded and being able to loose this weight for good.

I'm getting banded on May 20th and i also feel the need to get all my "good" eating out. I'm starting to feel a little guilty about it, but i'm still going to the gym. Luckily I'm a selfpay so i dont have to worry about not being approved or losing a certain amount. I start my pre-op diet on May 9th and I'm already looking in the stores for things I'll need. Best wishes to everybody! I'M SOOOOOOO EXCITED AND CANT WAIT TO BE BANDED!

At this moment, right now, i feel like a death row inmate about to choose my last meal. my liquid diet begins tomorrow, so i have one more meal today that will be eaten in "the old way". this will be the last time i put something in my mouth without thinking about it (without having to PB or get stuck that is). *sigh* while i'm beginning to get excited at the possibility of getting slimmer, i'm still afraid that i will fail like i have so many times before. Anyway, I AM going to go through with this though, and i'm going to do my very best to follow the rules and change my habits. no turning back.

      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.
