I've found that one disadvantage of letting folks know I'm have wls is now everyone wants to take me on one last hurrah. I'm getting comments like oh you won't be able to have this and that anymore. While its okay that folks want to socialize it is starting to become an issue to try and accommodate the request. It's gotta a bit political at work and folks I'd like to see I might not be able to since preop starts next Wednesday. Oh well if I don't get to eat with folks it's a good prep for postop times.

Anyone else getting the let's eat for goodness sake?

It's like offering a lung cancer patient one last cigarette.

You will be able to eat again. I would decline.

At 10 months, there's nothing I can't eat. I just can't hold as much. So you won't have to give up your favorite foods for very long. But you might be surprised, like I was, that you no longer want those old foods and actually crave healthier options.

Here's my video on food funerals.

I have to tell you that this video made me feel so relieved. In going to use your method. As I listened to the video I did exactly as you told and was able to feel my chest loosen. Thanks so much for sharing

I went to my pre-op appt yesterday and the doctor says to me " do you know what you'll be having for your last meal?" And I told her that I won't be having a "last meal" because I'm ready for change..... I'm ready to get healthier and don't want to go crazy... U know?

      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.
