It will be hard, very hard but at least i know that something good is coming... cant wait to loose those lb's... thinking abt loosing/being healthy, makes it much easier for me not to cheat.

My gas pains and hunger have gotten so much better. I switched to spiru-tein Protein Shakes. Less Fiber, more Protein. The cookie dough flavor is so good.

Feeling depressed just left my doctors office for my last visit he told me I had to lose 50 pounds before he would do the operation

Wow.... Was that not something they addressed early on? I had to loose 5#, but had 6 mo notice (and waited til the last week, of course) I know there was a girl through my surgeon who had to loose 50-60 but had the same amt of notice. Hang in there. Frustrating but your time will come!

Well, tomorrow is the big day and I get to be the first patient of the day for my Dr. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I am so ready to start this new chapter of life. Yes there has been nerves and second guessing but in the end, I know I am making the right choice. I have lost around 23 pounds during my pre op diet and I am slowly starting to feel a difference already. All my chores are done, yard is mowed and I have made arrangements for someone to mow for me next week. Now it is time to sit back, relax, enjoy some lime Jello, chicken broth and Water (I am on Clear Liquids only today), and get ready. Good luck to all my August 19th surgery mates! I hope and pray that we all have flawless procedures followed by minimal pain and discomfort! Speedy recovery to everyone. Now bring it on!!!

      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. 🤞
