Congratulations! It sounds like things are going great for you...wish the same for me as I am getting sleeved on 8/30. I did have the 2 week pre op diet and lost 10 pounds so far during this phase.

I found out about hydration an blood. For my 6 month labs they tested for EVERYTHING. They had to fill 16 tubes. I was in a hurry and didn't drink enough Water that evening or that morning. My vein are tiny to begin with and they could barely find a vein.

Glad you are feeling so well. I was one of the ones lucky enough to bounced back quickly from surgery. Glad you are too. You have a fantastic attitude and I am convinced that it makes all the difference.

Do keep in mind that stalls will happen. Don't sweat it when they do. It's just your body readjusting. You always lose inches even when the scale is not moving. Once your body is done moving things around, the weight will drop again. It's just something that has to happen.

Great things are coming your way.

      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. 🤞
