Yep & it's going well. Today was Day 4 & I've lost a few pounds. I'm supposed to lose 5% of starting weight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. How about you?

Today was day 3 for me. Going ok, it is hard though...it's amazing the foods you crave just because you know you can't eat them- my mind is my worst enemy! I haven't weighed myself though- tomorrow I go for my last appt before surgery and for my pre-op testing at hospital. I'll find out then if I lost anything.

I'm on Optifast 800 so I'm eating every 3 hours & getting in more than the required 64oz of Water, too. I have 3 shakes & 2 bars a day & that seems to be just the right amount. Well, at least until I see other food. food on commercials, take-out Chinese the characters are eating on my TV shows, the chicken minis one of our vendors brought in for us at the office today... Luckily I have a short attention span so I'm able to shift my thoughts elsewhere fairly easily. ADD ain't so bad after all. 8-)

My pre-op apps aren't until the 12th. Good luck tomorrow!

      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.
