How are you drinking four shakes a day? I'm not hungry really since I've started this diet. I know I should be drinking more shakes but I can only get two in. I need to drink all day long.

Will you be going to the support group meetings?

I tried but got the date wrong. I work out of state a lot so it's hard for me to be available mid week. The Dr. Said it would be ok since he saw i did try to make it to at least one. I also showed him I'm a part of several online support groups!

Tomorrow is the start of my liquid diet. I will be on it for 2 weeks. I'm nervous. Any advice from someone that has been on the liquid diet already?

I've been to one meeting. I wasn't impressed. Other than that my overall experience has been great. Are you doing the Optifast diet?

I have to share...I'm waiting on a flight i have for a quick business trip...plane for a few hours. I normally pay for the extra legroom and especially hip room! I have this wonder in my mind...will I need the same space (legroom maybe) on my next business trip next year!?!? My sleeve story starts now..and surgery on the Oct21... It's definitely some of the small things that continue to inspire me!!!

No you will not need the .extra room! Remember when you didn't weigh what you way now and how you were comfortable in the airplane seat? Plus, seats are smaller than before. My sleeve is on Oct. 22. You brought up a great inspiration.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
