The absolutely most important thing for me has been following diet the Dr. gives you stage by stage! Exercise is important, however I think stopping eating as soon as you feel full is the most important thing in the beginning, and avoid snacking and stay hydrated. You will have stalls but just try not to get upset and stay with it, you will lose inches even when the scale isn't moving! Premier Protein shakes are my favorite, find one you like and drink them!

I do exercise, I prefer the treadmill to walking outside, I feel like I get a better workout faster! Also lift some light weights, to start out after surgery take it slow, walk for 30 min a day if you can't do it all at once do 15 & 15, as the weight comes off it will get easier! Walk away the pounds videos were great at first very low impact! After surgery in the hospital start walking the halls as soon as they will let you up!

      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.
