Didn't you have surgery on the 24th too? Holy cow and you're already eating all that stuff? I'm still on full liquid for another week. Lol.

1st meal with soft foods!!! 1/4 egg w 1/4 toast!!! Omg!!!! So great to chew my food!!!

Chewing never felt so good. I had a scrambled egg with a bit of melted cheddar and a topped that with a mild salsa. Yum.

Octavia16, thank you for the thoughts, but.....I had my surgery last year. I'm down 87 lbs and basically at goal. I'd like to drop another 5 but if I don't I'm so happy with my results. Good luck with getting your clearance from insurance. My best advise to you would be - Have a positive attitude and follow your surgeons instructions. For some inspiration, below is a day before surgery and a picture from December. :)

Hi everyone! I think my surgery will be in March. I go today for my psych consult and Feb 11th for my last of 6 month check-ins. Other than one more lab to submit, I'm DONE! I really hope they submit to insurance...I'm so nervous!

Anything I should know for the psych consult today?

      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. 🤞
