June 5th is coming fast! I have spent the last month doing the "lasts" like I do whenever I start a diet and have gained weight according to my dr.'s scale. I finally figured out how to do a ticker and am using my own home scale as my guide. I know that these are not "really" my lasts but it seems like such a long time before I will be able to eat normal (albeit) smaller meals again. I am really kind of nervous but so ready to take the first step...Dr. said to start the pre-op diet 5 days out but I started today...just want to get in the right mindset and try to lose a little before the surgery. Today wasn't too bad until I had an appointment in the afternoon and I forgot to bring a shake with me. By the time I was done my appointment, I was getting the shakes and a headache and felt like passing out but I still had to stop at the grocery store to pick up the stuff for my diet...soon as I got home I chugged a Protein Shake and then made some Soup. I laid down to try and calm my head and fell asleep. Headache is now a little better :) Anyone else do the "lasts" like I did?

Was supposed to begin two week liquid diet on Memorial Day but had family BBQ so didn't start until yesterday (I know...excuses excuses). Not enjoying the shakes so much and I haven't been hungry really, but the constant headache is the worst part by far. Luckily I hear the headache goes away after 3 or 4 days and I'm down 5 lbs already so I'm using that as ammunition to continue.

      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. 🤞
