Recommended Posts

It will be worth all of the struggles in the end! I am a stay at home mom of four and when I make meals for them instead of getting stressed about not being able to eat with them I just remind myself I am doing this for them!

What scares me is: if it's this hard now, will it always be this hard? If this is how it will be after surgery ill fail!

I have been on a cpap since 2010. Honestly I can't sleep without it if you can relax it will be the best sleep you have ever HD. Also I am told by a friend that just had the surgery the hunger dimeishes after surgery.

Yea it sucks I have to cook my traditional rice and Beans for my bf and reg meat and Pasta ugh things I love and I can't have especially my bread ?de29 but in the end I know it will be worth it . We can all do this just one day at a time if we slip we can get back up no one is perfect

Yes! I have slipped twice. I'm angry with myself because I thought I could be strong but it was my birthday and I had some birthday pie instead of cake. Thanks for saying this. It helps a lot.

      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. 🤞
