Well I'm suppose to be feeling amazing right now the surgeon approved me and does not foresee any issues with the insurance but I feel broken right now and you guys are pretty much the only ones that might relate to how I'm feeling. First of all the boyfriend is totally against me doing this purely because of his own insecurities. Afraid I'm ganna thin up and leave him. We got into a big fight over it last night (same day I got my approval) than today is day one of all liquid and it's mentally killing me. I'm hungry I'm emotional I want chocolate than in top of it all I'm at work and people here are really getting under my skin. So all I really want to do is cry. I want to be happy and excited but I can't Sorry for being a Debbie downer

My hubby wasn't on-board at first either. He came around once he realized I wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. Stay strong and keep your head up---you're doing what's best for you, and that's what matters.

My husband wasn't on board either. But he does know my struggles with my weight . He also knew I wasn't very healthy, and at the end of the day he wants me to be around.

Ashlee, it seems like your feelings are normal. You're taking control of your life and making huge changes and sacrifices. You are giving up an emotional crutch and are suffering through a liquid diet. Then, instead of getting the support you need right now, you are having to deal with your boyfriends issues. I say, take a deep breath and focus in on what you are doing and why. Ask for support from others. If you cant get it from those around you, you do have us. And maybe pamper yourself a little. You can't go out to eat, but you could get a pedicure. In a year this will be a memory and you will be looking hot. If your boyfriends not nice, you may have to trade him in:). For a pool boy named Felipe;)

My boyfriend is totally against me having this surgery as well. He claims its because of the small percentage of death but I think it's because he's insecure. Little does he know I love him so much I will never leave his side big or thin.

      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. 🤞
