All done!! Just waking up from surgery and am on my room. Mouth is dry but that's expected. Nurse gave me glycerin swabs to wipe the inside of my mouth. I am so happy and look forward to the rest of my recovery.

Was a bit nauseous in recovery room and remember saying I was scared ...but was already done.

Today is day one of my preop diet and I've had one shake and I'm hungry... I knew day three and four were days I would struggle but the morning of day one is not giving me much hope for success.

Emily! I was the same way I think it was the reality of "this is it". And everywhere I went, I'd see McDonald's, etc. and think to myself "never again". I was starving! (Or so I thought)

But I'm happy to say that I made it and I'm currently in my hospital bed having been sleeved Monday night. You will make it as well. Keep the faith.

Don't give uo, it is super hard but the results are many. I felt the same way b4 my 14day pre-op diet and I lost 18# before surgery. I was sleeved 10/11/12. U can do it!

Ok so I told myself that if I could make it 3 weeks on the preop diet without cheating then I would have my favorite Breakfast today, favorite lunch tomorrow and favorite dinner Friday. Then liquid diet Saturday and Sunday. Today I got 1 kolache from the kolache factory. It took me 30 minutes to eat it. And now I feel like I have a rock in my stomach!

      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. 🤞
