:whoo:HAPPY 1 YEAR TO MRS. YODA:whoo:

Today is exactly one year since she got her band...

As Samuel Johnson said "Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings." Mrs. Yada must have self-confidence to spare because her great undertaking has not only changed her life, but mine as well. That is one of the many reasons I love her so. :love:

It is a salem occation today as it is the final day of people food for me :) ! I must start the Pre op diet as of tomorrow.:violin:

I have had pretty much all the foods I like in the last 3 days. I had a lunch at eastside marios, I had fish and chips at a local Joeys, H&D rocky road ice cream, m&ms, and a nice Peanut Butter sandwich. :high5:

Tomorrow I feast on Yogurt and Cottage cheese (bacteria filled milk and it's by-products) for the next ten days!:faint:

This also means that in 10 days I will be turned to the banded side. I may have to change my name to something like "Darth Bandito" :bandit or "Chewawacca" :hungry: or "Luke soothimaker" or how about "Band Solo" :)

Knaw... I'll just stick with Mr. Yoda...

3 more sleeps till the M rs :clap2: is back!!!

Oh my good Gravy!!!

I had my first day of ten, pre-op diet and it is going to be SO hard! :faint:

I litterally had to tell myself every minute or so that I cannot have everything!

And of course everything was much more appealing with the whole forbidden fruit aspect...

But I will persevere with all the will power I can muster...

After all I am not a JEDI master by chance.

Mr. Yoda,

With 9 Y&CC days under my belt, I can tell you that it DOES get easier. What I did was weigh myself everyday and the first couple of days I kep losing 3 lbs a day - so that helps to motivate.

Also, think of the consequences of not doing the diet - the chance that they might delay or cancel your surgery. I know you don't want that.

You can do it!!!

How many more sleeps?

Hey MR Yoda, my operation is at TLBC on May 4th at noon, you are at 2pm...pretty close, I'd say we're in the same boat. Couldn't really be any closer. Yup, i feel you for the pre-op, but i don't find it that bad yet...hopefully by day 3-4 it gets easier.

      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.
