Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of months, this is my first post. My surgery is scheduled for August 22. I started the pre-op diet today - so far, so good! I am super excited about getting the surgery done and I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me. Best of luck to all!

I'm also getting mine on August 22nd. They said they only needed me on a 3 day pre-op diet but, after reading so much on the benefits of going longer, I decided to start mine yesterday. So, of course, I've lost nothing so far! HA!

Anyway, I'm way over amped for this but, trying to play it cool.

But, I can't! I'm so excited! I have made the changes to diet and exercise, now I just need my body to follow suit!

My doctor gave me the food to eat on the pre-op diet. It's things like shakes and Soups that you mix with Water. It hasn't been too bad! I've cheated a little bit a couple of times but still down 8 lbs. My goal is to be down 12 by my surgery date.

      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.
