My preop diet starts 10/14, I normally do all the cooking for my family. I'm nervous about this adjustment and getting through the week. Any advise?

Hi everyone! my surgery date is oct 15th in Arlington tx with Dr Lyons. i just got my approval yesterday and i am on cloud nine! i have been a lurker here since last aug when i decided to research the surgery. My First appt was actually Jan 10th of this year, and i was told i might be able to be sleeved by March... But instead i fought tooth and nail with bcbs and shed many a tear. i was denied in may, but my amazing surgeon appealed it for me, after tons of run around, i finally got approved!! i have an appt next weds to sign all the final paper work and learn what my pre and post op diet will be and when i start all that... its been 9 months of uncertanty and in the last 30 hours my whole out look has changed... i am ready!!

      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. 🤞
