So today I go in for my 5th weigh in and my stomach is I complete knots. I JUST hit me that is really about to happen. im really about t change everything for a better life. last night I had a craving blast (that's what I call it) I fought it by telling myself how far ive come...but I gave in...but when I gave in I asked my self y I need to eat this, was I hungry, how did the food make me feel, and was it worth the guilt I would feel if I swallowed it.....all those questions came to a no, and I spit the food out and went to bed. so far ive lost 17lbs since my journey started in feb. I have a surgery date of june 20th. im happy im having this experience now. I understand why and when I eat. I just need some support. with surgery next month I feel as though I should have already concurred my food demons. Im still learning but no matter I ganna get there. please tell me im not the only one going through this.

Welcome my sister in this struggle!!! You're in very good company for I have been emotional eater all of my life and it's caused me to become addicted to sugary, fatty foods and it's really hard, even during my pre op diet I found myself cheating because the Clear Liquids didn't satisfy me. But trust me, you'll be fine with the support and encouragement here. We are all brothers and sisters in the struggle. If you ever have a question just ask. I'm three weeks post op and I've lost 33lbs but I have a long way to go before I reach my goal. So hang in there we will get thru this together. God bless!!

Thank you. it seems to get harder and harder to truly understand everything that's about to go on. I caught myself telling my husband that I can do it on my own, just because im so scared. ive lost my required weight plus 10 more lbs, but im just so afraid..what if im not strong enough?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
