Recommended Posts

my surgery is scheduled for the 21st...start my pre-op diet next week I am soo excited. Good luck to you!!

I'm on the 21st too. How is ur Pre op diet going for u? I was doing good initially. The past 3 days I ate a chicken salad 1 day, Asian lettuce wraps the second, and today another chicken salad. In my mind I'm replacing the diet meal but those meals I ate were more calories but I was starving. I have lost 7 lbs and really need to lose another 8 to atleast do the 5% weight loss pre op. I'm nervous. Just 1 wk to go!

I had my surgery on the 17th just got out of the hospital today not doing bad, started rough i was on a pain pump that made ne really nauseous, probably because of the empty stomach, thank goodness for delaudin (sp?) Got a shot of that and finally started to turn around and was able to walk. Still not hungry really but find that sugar free fudgesicles are the best! I did come down with the flu while in the hospital so the coughing is making me miserable. But I braved the scale expecting gain of course and found that I lost almost 10 lbs already.

So far so good, still feel like the next 6 weeks will be an eternity.

      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.
