I am from long island. I was sleeved on 7/30. I have lost at total of 48lbs. Including the 2 weeks pre op liquid diet.

I am in a constant mental battle daily. I stay between 700-1000 calories a day with as little carbs as possible. I get in my protien or close to it and the same with fluids. I am on my 2 nd stall and fustrated.

I am looking for people to chat with, vent with and become a sleeve buddies lol.

Starting next week you should be on your liquid diet. That right there will help you to drop 10-20 lbs.

I know at first this whole surgery thing is scarey and you feel like you are going to be "losing" so much food freedom, but trust me once you get past the surgery and healing process it isnt so bad. Sure you cant have crappy foods anymore but its for the better. Ive noticed that i am not so sluggish anymore. All the crap food kind of drains you and weighs you down. I feel healthier with eating better. Plus watching that scale go down instead of up is such an accomplishment, you wont want to mess that up. It kind of becomes addictive to see how much you can lose each time.

It is the best thing you could do for yourself and your loved ones.

      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. 🤞
