@@happymama2014 I just read one of your earlier posts and felt I kinda know how you feel. I too am not getting much support from my mom either. At lunch today my brother asked me what was my surgery date. After I told him mom said to him, " Just think of all the good food I will be missing out with the holidays around the corner." I wished she would be more supportive but I try to just let it go.

So super excited! I have a surgery date 11-11-14. I can't believe how real this is. Probably going to burst with excitement before then. I am so ready, bring it on!

i am counting the days until 11/4. only 19 to go! and 15 to go before i have to start my 4-day liquid diet. i am starting to get a little somber in light of the seriousness of the surgery. not scared, just feeling it as more real than an abstract idea in my mind.

Today has been hard to stay on the liquid diet. I'm off work and spending the day with my boyfriend, who is supportive but he's gotta eat. We have been driving around looking at rental houses because I'm planning to move in the next couple months. Drove him through the McDonald's and I got a Water to mix my shake with. But I wanted food soooooo bad! Not even bad food. Just food! I would kill for a chicken breast and some green Beans right now. Lol

I will have been on full liquids almost 3 weeks by surgery date. Then there's two weeks of liquids after. My clinic skips purée and goes straight to soft. I'm counting down the days until I can have pintos and cheese from taco bell. Lol

Day 2 of my pre op diet. Had a really bad headache last night and I'm sooo hungry today. Feels good though to be doing something, finally. It's really hitting home that surgery is so soon. Nov 2 here I come.

November 2nd on a Sunday really? Where are you? I have not seen too many with weekenders! I'm in day 1 of my pre-op diet. It's hard but it's mental so I'm going to keep pushing trying to keep my mind off food.

      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. 🤞
