No Appitite Since I Made The Wls Commitment



Recommended Posts

Have had no appetite, have been nauseated and an all around nervous mess since I committed to this surgery. Is it just me? Not having the surgery til Nov 5th. Hope I don't feel like this the whole time! I am looking at foods that I know I should not ever eat again and I'm OK with it. Most of the foods I shouldn't eat make me feel sick anyway. I am not so nervous about having to permanently change my ways. More nervous that I am going alone and that I have committed. Anyone else going to be having surgery with Dr Garcia around Nov 5th? And am I the only one freaking out that "It's actually happening"?

No, I found that too. Some stuff I would eat just because it's there -- like at parties and stuff -- is really unappealing to me now. I feel like I am soooo tired of eating and feeling bad about it, it's just easier not to.

The trouble is when something tastes GOOD, I can't stop. And mentally, since I didn't eat all the other stuff, I justify eating more+... so I wasn't losing weight.

Good morning and I think it is normally to have all of the emotions you are having. I will have my surgery on September 10th and I have all sorts of emotions but what helps me is I know that I am doing what is right for me. More than that I have peace about the decision I have made to have the WLS... I started my pre-op diet on yesterday and surprisingly I was not hungry... I am always hungry... I just know that this is going to be the best thing I have done and Believe me you are not the only one...

Sending positive energy your way and Best regards on your upcoming surgery!!!

      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.
