Surgery Is Aug 2Nd And Im Having The Empthy Nest Thing.



Recommended Posts

Getting so excited as the time gets closer. I often find my self looking for some thing else I can do to get prepaired. Today I think I will go through my closet and dig out some of my smaller clothes (at this size a 16 is smaller clothes) lol. I think when I can start to fit in some of those clothes in the back of my closet, then ill be doing good. Can't wait to see some results.

Yeah, I've started doing some nesting myself. Got rid of all my biggest clothes that I'll never wear again. Kept just a few to get me through the first week or so. It makes it feel more real. I thought the time would drag on but it's actually going by quickly!

My surgery is 8/1, I plan on going through my closet today as well. I have all sizes and think I will pull out the smaller sizes and keep then sorted by sizes in a box or something.

Good luck, you'll be surprised how fast you will fit into those size 16's. I went from size 20/22 to size 8 in six months.

I'm August 2nd too....it feels like all of a sudden, it's coming real quick!...probably because I'm on the pre-op. I feel the exact same way...am I prepared? Have I done enough?..do I really know what to expect when I get home? About a mo th ago I did a huge purge of my entire home, clothes, etc. I'd been holding on so long to the smaller sizes (9-16)..haven't been a 16 for 7 years so those real small sizes are old! Ha-ha! I felt it was really purging to even get rid of the old small clothes...they were also a reminder of my past failures. I felt like this time, this is it! And I'm buying all new clothes and Celebrate each smaller size (or raid my sister's closet) I did keep 2 super small tops...when I fit into those again It will be a good day! :)

Good luck and keep me posted how things are going...message or friend me...I'd like to stay in touch!

      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.
