I hope everyone is doing well. I broke my android tablet so I have not been on here in a while.

Things have been going well for me. I am down a total 85lbs since starting my pre-op diet in July. I have not had any dumping which I attribute to Soccermom's advice of making sure you have protien in your stomach if you are going to treat yourself. For example I had a 30gram protien shake yesterday and about 10 minutes after drinking it I treated myself to half an Oreo.

This by far has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! I will try to get on here more with my work computer and my wifes home computer because I would like to hear how everyone else is doing.

Hi pittguy! Glad to hear you are doing so well. I am 68 pounds down since the start of this journey and am feeling really good. I have ankle/knee issues which make exercise difficult. I too follow Soccermom's advice and have not had any problems with my pouch.

I am sure it is a matter of time until I am eating a whole one.... I am still in the stage where I have no hunger and no cravings. I am hoping if I treat myself in moderation I will not get back into a pattern of downing 5 Oreos with Milk when I get cravings back.

Mitzie, congrats on the 68p pounds. That is great! Ankle and knee problems are no fun and can make the journey tough at times but it is great to hear you are still having great success.

      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.
