I am still on soft foods....cottage cheese, any type of cheese, refried Beans, mashed potatoes, tuna, any fish and of course the liquids like Jello, pudding, sugar free popcicles, I have an appointment with the surgeon next week and hopefully will advance me to a regular diet. I also need to stay off the scale, but it was so encouraging to loose 15 pounds in 10 days that I was hoping the weight would continue to come off. My sister in law had the sleeve in January and she has lost 50 pounds. She also told me to stay off the scale. Uggh....I have started walking 30 minutes 5-6 days a week so Im hoping this helps kick start the weight to start coming off again. Just hang in there, Im sure you'll do great!

Highest weight: 332lbs

Surgery Date: 300lbs (8/20)

      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. 🤞
