Today is day 1 of my 15day pre-opt and I have been easing into 5 shakes per day. Today is the day!! this is the start of my new relationship with food!!! I knew I would have to be mentally prepared' date=' however I have never had to give myself soo many peps talks lol when I start to get cravings I remind myself why I am doing this and what and who is important!!! I have six children that need a healthy mom!! I want to be able to do things with them instead of not being able to walk long distances or afraid of embarrassing them. I want to live long enough to see them grow up to be adults and have careers and families :) I've tried many diets and have been in a heck of a roller coaster ride.. I am confident this tool will be what I need to be successful and get my life back. Best wishes to everyone on my same journey and thank you for the support reading so many similar stories and knowing you are not alone is also great motivation!!! [/quote']yes mine is the 15th of November

      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. 🤞
