Tomorrow - And Then There Is That,...



Recommended Posts

Okay Folks,

Tomorrow is the day. I rented movies for my family thinking it would stop me from dwelling on it. So much for that idea. They are watching safehouse and I willlooking for the remote (the life remote) to fast foward the next 6-7 days. Guess that was just a movie too :)

I am excited to,...but excited to be on the other side of this and praying to god that I don't screw this up. I have the food addiction and I know I have to deal with that seperatly. I also have control issues and and tend to "test" the rules....well that got me alot of nothing,... well except fat.

So I have accepted that I will do it different after surgery. I'll make long lists of things to do socially that dont involve food. I'll accept that rules are a part of life like breathing.

This isn't going to be a piece of cake (I HATE THIS SAYING BTW) and I will be a pain with all the posts and questions and maybe venting and I bet I will whine every now and again. Please have patience with me :)

I also promise to share my experience and excitement with anyone willing to hear.

Surgery is at 10:00-I'll be the one still in the parking lot (just kidding)

On your mark get set,.....

      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.
