Thank you! :) you will be there sooner than you think! I eat right, exercise & don't drink anything with sugar or eat anything with more than 10g of sugar & that has been working for me :)

nikiMarie I have some down low. I ate cracker! I have been slacking...sick of the blended stuff.

It's ok, I had one or two during the liquid phase myself! Although now that I'm able to eat solids I can't eat bread or anything like that! Hmmph frustrating at times!

I'm 26, live in Queens, my husband and I are about 2 years post op. I've lost about 100, hubby's lost about 120, and we still got 50 more pounds to go each!

There's a lot of us here in NYC, wish there was a meetup event or something for all of us to hang out at :/ We could all swap surgery stories, recipes, give food and exercise tips, etc.

      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.
