After WLS...I lost my 3 best friends



Recommended Posts

Oh how I miss you Ronald, Wendy and the King. We had many fond memories together but we are no longer friends. When I pass you in the street or in my car, a tear streams down my face...and I have to look away. See you were so bad for me...and we can't be friends.

When we traveled to Florida in early May, I just made sure I made good choices as we always stop at fast food places, use the bathroom and get stuff to go. I lost weight during the 10 days we were gone. I just made sure that I also walked!!!

In my opinion, if you lost those friends, then just maybe they weren't your friends to begin. You always find out who your true friends are when you need them the most.

I thought it would be very hard but I don't crave it. I do pass them by and miss the comfort level of it, but I have no regrets.

      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. 🤞
