Hi all,

I put pen to paper to see what happened and came up with this.

Hope to see lots more on here but for now I'll start you all off.

JUST GOT MY DATE

AND I CAN'T WAIT

IT'S BEEN A YEAR

BUT NOW IT'S NEAR

GETTING NERVOUS JUST DAYS TO GO

WILL I GET THERE OR BE A NO SHOW

THE DAY BEFORE AND ALL IS GOOD

HAVING MY LAST MEAL OF CHINESE food

NOW MY FAVOURITE FOODS I CANNOT HAVE

HOW WILL I COPE, WILL I GO MAD?

THE DAY HAS COME

WILL MY HEART POP

I WISH IT WAS OVER AND DONE WITH

SO THE BUTTERFLIES WILL STOP

THE PRE-MEDS ARE IN

THIS IS FUN

NOT LONG NOW

THEN I'LL BE DONE

THEY'VE COME TO GET ME

OH MY GOT IT'S HERE

WILL I STAY CALM

OR PANIC WITH FEAR

DEEP BREATHS, DEEP BREATHS

COUNT TO TEN

IT'LL SOON BE OVER

AND THEN..........

WAKE UP ON THE WARD

FEELING NUMB

MY DAUGHTERS HERE

TO SEE HER MUM

AND THEN I REMEMBER WHAT I'VE DONE

I WENT UNDER THE KNIFE

TO START A NEW LIFE

FOR MY LITTLE GIRL

AND OF COURSE FOR ME

TO WATCH HER GROW UP

IS WHAT I LONG TO SEE

UH OH, NOW THIS IS PAIN

I NEED SOME HELP, OR I'LL GO INSANE

THE NURSES ARE ANGELS

THEY BRING THE MORPHINE

AND IN IT GOES, AH THAT'S BETTER

I'LL NEED TO SEND A THANK YOU CARD

OR A THANK YOU LETTER

I CAN SIT BY MY BED

WOO HOO - NOT BAD

STILL A BIT OF PAIN THERE

BIT I'M NOT SAD

I'M TAKING FLUIDS

BIT IT'S GOOD

COS I'M NOT HUNGRY

DON'T THINK ABOUT FOOD

TWO DAYS HAVE PASSED

AND I GO HOME

NOW THE CRAVINGS START

WHEREVER I ROAM

I GO INTO THE KITCHEN

THIS FOOD IS NO GOOD

SO OUT IT GOES AND IN THE BIN

NOW THAT FEELS GOOD AND HELPS MY MOOD

AND NOW THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN

HOW CAN I MAKE THESE MUSHIES FUN?

LITTLE TASTES OF SOMETHING YUMMY

HELPS THE CRAVINGS AND SOOTHES MY TUMMY

THE scales ARE MOVING

IT'S GREAT TO SEE

JUST STICK WITH IT

AND GOOD FOR ME!

SO TO ALL THE BANDSTERS ON THIS SITE

WE'LL HELP EACH OTHER, WE'LL DO THIS - RIGHT!

SO MANY STORIES, SO MUCH INSPIRATION

TO HELP US ALL WITH OUR MOTIVATION

      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.
