Jan. 2013 Buddies! A New Year = A New Us!



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm going on jan 3 in TJ mx can't wait so excited. Already started my high Protein diet so I can shrink my liver by the time jan comes. I also started early so I can cheat on Xmas day a little. I take in about 70 grams if Protein a day and 1000 calories. Not that hard. It's all I think about in a daily. I can't even focus at school because My mind keeps rushing back to surgery. Good luck to all out there. (Smiles)

Well....it would seem that I have to leave the Jan 2013 sleeve buddies club and join the Feb 2013 Sleeve buddies club. Yes friends, my surgery has been moved to February :mellow: There is some pretty extensive dental work that I need to have done and since teeth are pretty important to the chewing process, he wont do the surgery unless he's confident that when I reach the solid foods i will be able to mastecate successfully...to tell the truth I am disappointed, but I know that these things happen for a reason and it will all work out for the greater good. Best of luck to all of you January sleevers! I hope that the new year treats you well and that you will treat your "new you" even better!

      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.
