I had a fairly decent thanksgiving dinner. I spent the better part of two days cooking so by the time the actual meal came around I was pretty bored of it. I am excited to start my journey this year and see how next Thanksgiving is going to turn out!

YAY!! I just made my appointment for December 10th!! I'm very excited but nervous at the same time. I am so committed to this but I'm afraid it will turn out like every other weight loss attempt. Am I alone?

I can't speak for everyone else...but I am can definitally say from my point of view that you are not alone. I have had those very same thoughts. I keep telling myself that this time will be different...Positive self talk and all that...I am new to this site but I can tell you that I have found it easy to stay motivated and reassured that this will be the last time I will be over weight.

Does anyone know the rules on coffee and preop diet? I start mine on Wednesday for Dec 12 surgery. It's food-based, not liquids. So 1,000 calories a day...8oz lean Protein, 2 fruits, 2 veggies, etc. I'm seeing my surgeon Tuesday for my preop appt but want to start the diet Monday since its the beginning of the week. And if coffee is a no no it's going to be hard!

      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. 🤞
