Hey everyone,

Hope all is well and your progresses are moving forward. :)

So, today I go see my surgeon for my pre op visit. I get my 1000 cal diet at this time and start it on Monday. I am getting anxious and giddy! :wacko: I have yet to find a Protein Drink that I like, they all taste blah and coat my tongue.. weird! Suggestions?

I am 41 Start weight in May 288 lbs currently 272 lbs.

I'm concerned to join the Facebook page as I'm not posting anything about surgery on my Facebook. Will any of my friends see what I'm doing? Perhaps I need to create another account for just us.

Will be by invitation only. I will set it up so only the ones who want to join will know anything that is going on with you. If anyone else has that concern we can just keep it here.

I can have 4 bottles of Ensure plus three cups of skim milk per day... Not sure how it will be but will keep you posted :)

Lucky you, I get to drink 4-5 instant s/f Breakfast drinks with Water a day for two weeks. I was told I could take in 1 8oz serving of fat free milk a day. Lord give me patience and let my family still love me when I am through this..lol

your suggestion of creating another account is probably the best way to go. under all the FB rules in explainatiion is very vague as to who can see it. Better safe than sorry!

      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.
