Recommended Posts

July 3rd is my date, I've been on liquids for a month tomorrow and can't wait. Tomorrow is the beginning of your new life! I really didn't miss food until the last couple of days, I think my last meal was lobster, I wanted to do it right! You will hear some people get headaches the first few days, I did and learned real quick to keep hydrated and keep my Proteins at 115 or more to stave off fatigue. I then learned to start Probiotics right away!!!!! Walk and walk and more walking, I find yoga is helping and 53 lbs later I'm able to move like I haven't in years! BBQ's are tough and a real change if people don't know what your planning, so do tell them if you can. Keep busy, my yard looks fabulous, I'm working out in the yard as a tool to keep busy and work up my heart rate. I found the best Protein shakes are at costco for 30 Proteins per 11 oz and $25 a case. You will drink 4 to 5 a day! I also include sugar free yogurt and pudding and the best organics brand Soups for dinner, added garlic salt and any other seasoning I could think of. a half a packet of top ramen Soup seasoning is awesome for around 40 calories. Protein drinks for Creamer in my Decaf and lots and lots of Water all day! I will be in Post Falls Idaho for the fourth to enjoy the fireworks and my new life!

My surgery is July 15th. I start my two week liquid diet on July 1st. I am scared I will be hungry and frustrated during those weeks. Any advice?

I would love a buddy as well. Starting liquid diet and it sounds to be difficult vs. my previous eating habits. I am so ready for this change and excited for what it means for us but also our family who now have us but with limited activity levels.

We can do 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
