I don't know if it is my mind playing tricks on me or what. I did the pre-op diet for 10 days, mixing food with shakes and staying under 800 calories per day. I was hungry every day, but usually if I had a piece of beef Jerky, it was heavy enough to make me feel full for a few hours.

Tomorrow is my surgery and so I am on Clear liquids until 6pm. It's almost 1pm now and I am starving. My stomach won't stop growling, and I'm getting a headache.

I can't wait to get this over with because I am starting to freak out.

I felt that way when I first started the clear diet four days ago. By day two, I was fine. Don't worry. You will get through it. Just think about the finish line. Tomrorow you will be sleeved...and so will I!! I hope you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Tomorrow is the big day!! I am excited!

      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.
