Hi simplybirdie, I know exactly what you mean. I'm nervous & excited to. I didn't realize all the emotions this could involve. Good luck to you as well. I will say a lil prayer for both of us.

30 days away girls! As nervous as I am getting, I'm excited! As it gets closer and closer I start to become a nervous wreck! I won't sleep the night before surgery either.

October 29th, also! I'm encountering my first milestone tomorrow -- the start of the two-week Clear liquids and Protein shake Liver Shrinking Diet (I'm calling it my LSD, because I might get a little crazy). I'm trying to focus on schoolwork, cleaning the apartment and meditation. Okay so the meditation isn't going great but Netflix had a documentary about the Buddha.

Anyone else worried about maintaining a similar heightened state of distraction until the surgery?

I am also Oct 29th and so nervous! Have done well this week on my pre-op diet but don't feel very well--headaches and body aches, presumably from the withdrawal of all the foods I used to eat! My pre op diet allows for Breakfast of an egg and whole grain toast, then a protien shake for lunch, then a serving I Protein and a green veggie for dinner...much less restrictive than I have seen others....I go for my pre-op at the hospital on Tuesday!

      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. 🤞
