10 Days! it still doesn't feel real! I have been on the pre-op "optifast" liquid diet for 5 days now! Last night we went shopping for the post op liquid phase.. We read EVERY label that we put in our cart! If it didn't fit the guidelines we were given then it did NOT go in the cart. We read up on some mushy food items and found some surprising things that we WILL be able to eat and some that we won't be able to eat. Everything is getting real but it still hasn't hit my brain yet that after all the hoops we have had to jump through (including loosing 7 pounds during Christmas!) that is really is going to happen and NO one can stop it but me!

I have told my parents who are lap banded (one succeeded and one is not working at it) my boss, (my co-worker team just knows I am having surgery) and my 4 dearest friends. I got really good responses from EVERYONE! Some were a little hesitant since we had originally planned on the lap band but BMI's being what they are and having a great doctor who WANTS us to succeed we are now going to be sleevers! We are not telling the hubby's parents due to their response when we had just been "talking" about going to the seminar about WLS. The greatest response was from my boss. He just grinned and told me that what ever I time I need we will work it out and if I need anything to let him know!

My hubby and I have gotten to where we are together and we are going to get rid of it together! I am so thankful to have such an amazing support team sitting right next to me. I know I will never fail with him at my side!

      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. 🤞
