Good luck! I am a week out. I have to say its brought out some difficult emotions in me. Although I am very glad I did it. I wish someone would have told me that in the beginning (after surgery) is when u ask yourself, "did I do the right thing?" In my hearts of hearts I know I did. I feel great with a little soreness. I know this shall pass. I am very excited for my new life!! As I know you will be too.

chrissie, thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you a lot of strength to deal with these emotions, I'm sure it will be difficult but I know we will be celebrating in 6 months! Also your dog reminded of an old dachshund friend I miss a lot. He is super cute, congrats :)

How do you feel a week out? Truthfully I'm getting worried about the next 2 weeks and being on a liquid diet. I have not had to do the liquid diet part like some people talk about. Although I have drank my Protein shakes on my own. I was diagnosed in May with diabetes, that was my moment when I knew...this is it! I have to do something. I lost 30 pounds since then and now I'm getting worried about everything. Today has truly sucked with the clear liquid diet my doctor required.

Good luck to everyone! I promise you will be so glad that you made this decision, it may not be in the first few weeks, but you will. I'm 6 weeks out today and I am down 56 lbs, and I feel wonderful! Just take a deep breath and say to yourself, "I'm doing this for me"! We will all save you a seat on the losers bench!

Carey, I too found out I was diabetic in February. This is while I was going through my 6 month dietary plan. But I thought something was wrong when I lost weigh because I was thirsty all the time. When I started reading all the paper work I realized I could have grits. Honestly I had them for the first time yesterday but you only really want like three bites or so. But if your dr only wants you to have Clear Liquids I would stick to that. Eating broth wasn't bad either. After the second day u are able to feel when you are full. But what no one told me was that when your chest feels tight, that's when your full. But as time goes on you'll be surprised how easy it is. So don't stress about it. You'll do fine. My first week went by really fast. Also no one told me about Constipation which I have never had an issue with. So I'm just throwing that out there. LOL

      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. 🤞
