LOL the people at the grocery store must have thought I was crazy with my 30 cases of sugar free Jello and pudding. I start my liquid diet on the 3rd. I have been able to sleep much, I have my scope tomorrow morning. I know there is nothing to be afraid of in concerns to the surgery itself. I am just worried how WLS is going to affect my personal relationships. I have gotten a lot support from a few family members, mainly because my mom got a lap band 2 years ago. However, my boyfriend along with other family members are telling me that I'm not "that fat" and that this is the "lazy way out" and why don't I just exercise. I explain to them that surgery or not I will still need to diet and exercise. Regardless, I'm really not understanding the "fat enough" logic. What does that even mean? Do I have to wait until my bmi is at 50 for WLS to be ok? SMH I didn't mean to rant but its frustrating especially since I am so close to surgery. Has anyone else been dealing with similar situations?

      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. 🤞
