I had my normal nutritional visit but then found out I didn't get to set my date. :( but now all month ive been cheating my ass off no matter how much I tell myself not to eat the bad things, I do.. like a zombie at night I just eat. Idky im telling this but just needed to get it off my chest.

Don't be so hard on yourself! Sounds like you had a huge disappointment in not getting to set your date. Don't let it get you so down. We all have our days...or months, in my case. Good news is, you can always start again. Go do something for yourself that will make you happy, and then resolve to do better. And keep heart! Several months from now, I will be confessing my failures on this diet adventure too. We are all in this together.

Try and back up and understand what old habit/trigger got in the eay of the new. Its the only way to figure out the head hunger.

Forgive yourself, and be accepting of what you are doing, so you can destress and come back into the healthy eating. Eat as much as you want, but make it healthy foods. Acknowledge you stayed within your goal for the day. get the sugars and fats and processed food "baddatives" that make you crave out of your system with lots of Water.

Be ok with what happened, and let it go. If you need to, literally take a walk and "drop" your negative feelings twords this along the way, and as you walk into your home, see you new resolution sitting at door door, visualize it like a big gift, pick it up. Its yours! You got this! Good luck!

How disappointing! I believe, for me, pre-op was by far harder. Every step closer you worry about getting to the next phase.

Having an end in sight makes it a little easier, only to have it pulled out from underneath you. UGH, I'm sorry you have to go through that.

Now you can dust yourself off and get back on the track you've chosen for yourself. Even if you don't have a date yet, you are still getting in the very best shape possible to have the best outcome you can. You're still in this for the same reasons. YOU deserve to start off in the best position you can.

YOU GOT THIS!! Good luck!

Tomorrows. NEW day! Pick up where you left off- learn for the mistakes- but don't let then define you or break you! :-)

Do it for YOU!

      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.
