Best of luck and prayers for an uncomplicated and quick recovery!! You'll do great. Don't worry about what others say, they aren't 'you'. :-)

October 22 is my sleeve surgery day also!! I'll be going in at 7:30am for my surgery. I'm praying that this liquid diet gets easier after surgery. I'm soooooo sick of the liquid only diet, but I can suffer for a month or 2 and live a much better life. I'd prefer to be hungry for a month and later be able to stand to see pictures of myself, then eat the burger I'm craving now, and still hate every pic I'm in.

Anyway, Good luck with your surgery! Hopefully, after surgery neither of us will be hungry at all and we'll be looking sexy soon!!

I can relate to what you're saying! I'm so sick of diets, diet pills, giving up, feeling like a failure, feeling like I'm not good enough. My self esteem has suffered being overweight. I made this decision because I'm over it! I'm ready to make these changes in my life so I can be healthy and stop feeling so down about myself

Tomorrow for me, too! Guzzling Water as we speak. We are almost there but can't help but be nervous. Once I get to the hospital I think I might chill out a little knowing this part of my journey is ending and when I wake up a new one begins. Best wishes to all the 10/22's!

Well I had my surgery on 10/22 and I'm already feeling better! I'm so happy I've done this! I've already had my first weight loss sign! I guess in the week before surgery and the 5 days since I've lost enough weight on liquids to make my fingers shrink. I can no longer keep my wedding bands on. They fell off a few times yesterday so now I've just put them in a safe place until I can get them resized. I'm so ready to start losing weight and living my life to the fullest!

      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.
