I am new to this site but thought I would post. My surgery is booked for Feb. 4th as well. I am on the seventh day of a two week liquid diet. broth and Protein shakes! It does get easier after while. Still trying to get my head around not eating period. I go back and forth from scared to excited to let's get this over with already. Thinking this is fairly normal. I have lost 5 pounds a week in...I'll take it.

Me too! But I slipped today. I had a small salad with boiled shrimp on it. I'm supposed to be on my 2 week pre op diet but I couldn't stand it any longer. We were with a group of friends at the beach. I knew I shouldn't have gone into that restaurant! Damn! Well I have one more week to go. No more cheating!!!!

I wll be having surgery on the same day as you! All the best! Yes, the diet does get a little easier as you go. I'm starting to get really excited and a bit nervous. I will be getting my sleeve done in Tijuana. Where will you have your surgery?

      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. 🤞
