I've had take out or eaten out every day since deciding on my surgery. I know I have gained close to 10lbs but I'm sick of it. Ready to be in control!

I just completed all my pre surgery tests ie., upper GI, 8 blood viles, CXR, and appointment with Internal Medicine doctor. :lol0: I have a 3 hour class on Wednesday then have one week and start my preop diet! Woohoo! I am getting closer. I was really bad this weekend. :w00t: We went out to eat 3 times and I was sicker than a dog. Back to my high Protein, low carb diet. I am not even weighing myself today because I don't want to know how much I gained of the 20 lbs that I have lost! Hope everyone is having a great start of the week!

Do any of you think like me? Im so excited about getting VSG but at the same time i think to myself "what if i dont lose anything"? Could i be the the one that wont lose and will stay fat forever? At the same time I can visalize myself being skinny, its crazy. I would like to think all positive thoughts, but that "WHAT IF is stuck in my head. I wish I could fast foward to 6 months from now so i could check out my progress. I guess I just have fear of the unknown???:thumbup1:

kerri21.... thats exactly how i feel too... im scared that for whatever reason it wont restrict my eating and i will still be hungry all the time.. and then a few mins later i can see myself happy healthy and small... its a strange thing but i think if you are like that too.. then its normal lol!!!

Kerri...I keep alternating between worrying that I will lose weight and then gain it all back and then some AND worrying that the surgery will not work for me and I will have done all this work for nothing. Still eating lots!! LOL. So glad we all have each other to worry with.

17 days until my sleeve!!

I don't have a date yet...waiting is sooooo hard!

I have my last "nutritional counseling" appointment on Oct. 5th, then assuming that the surgeons office can submit everything on the 5th or 6th...then it is a wait until they approve or (shudder) deny it. Then I'll have a date. Still hoping for Oct. date, I guess I could go into Nov. but really wanting Oct!

      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.
