Definitely feeling the same. At the same time not looking forward to watching everyone eat great BBQ and not being able to. Oh well worth the sacrifice

I literally thought the exact same thing less that 5 minutes ago!!! I am thrilled to know that this time next year I will have completely transformed my way of life. 4 weeks from today I turn into Slenderella. :D

When I posted this I didn't think about people being on the pre-op liquid diet :/ (duh!)...I'm sure it's a tough day but bittersweet! :)

Slenderella I'm 30 days out too!...Good luck to everyone!

Yeah, I'm on the clear liquid diet too so no BBQ for me. But I'm getting sleeved on Friday and it's totally worth it!!

I originally anticipated a Nov surgery date and I've been contemplating hard about moving it up. I would hate to go through the holidays and be sick at the sight of food. I can't wait though, by next 4th we will be in better health and shape!

YES!!!!! This totally went through my mind. So excited for all the changes the sleeve will bring to my life.

SweetTee, my date will most likely be in November too, and that is exactly how I feel!

I'm a little worried about being on liquids/mushies over Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Year's. Sigh. It will all be worth it though, because on those holidays the year after I'll be a skinny, healthy lil beezy :)

TransformerOfYoungMinds you are so right. It will totally be worth it. I can't wait until my day comes. I'm so looking forward to life after my sleeve. I can't wait to feel better about myself as a whole.

I am looking forward as this being my last "summer of discontent" i plan to be wearing pretty shift dresses and shorts and halters. My son graduates from International Film School in Cuba next year and I plan to show up, hubby on my arm feeling good about myself in front of my ex and his wife. This is my goal. No pain (arthritis) and back to feeling good about myself. Because right now, I am miserable and sad. Working on my pre-reqs hoping itll be done soon.

      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.
