I have a little crafty business making tshirts. I told my husband I will make new tshirts until I can buy a large! Then I'll shop!

I'm having my appt. Today with the dietitian. Kinda nervous and excited at the same time. My niece who is a nurse informed me she didn't approve of my surgery and their are never good outcomes. Really got me thinking. I've done a ton of research and feel I'm doing the right thing.

Now that is motivation for a shopaholic like me!

There are going to be a lot of people who will not agree with your surgery both now and in the latter stages. You have to believe you are doing the right thing for you. I bet you have tried other ways to lose the weight like all of us have and were not successful. This has to be something you are doing for you.

Day 2 of my pre-op diet! I made it though day one but had a huge headache and went to bed early. Here's to 13 more days until the big day. Also my boss signed off on my FMLA forms so we are good to go.

I caved on the liquid diet last night and feeling like crap about it today...

I went over to my boyfriends cousins for his bday dinner. I ate pork chops, mashed potatoes and corn. When I weighed this morning, I was still down almost a pound from Saturday but I just know it would have been more had I not screwed up.

Back at it 100% today. Shaking it off and not letting one bad meal break me. I think I might have panicked a little because I picked up the loan for my portion of the surgery yesterday so it made it all that much more real!

My surgery date is November 21st with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I sure wish I was having it done close to home but have to love Coventry Louisiana denials.

Welcome, we are here to support you.

Angierue - I start my pre-op diet on Monday and the following Saturday is my birthday. I am already planning my one cheat day for the occasion. However, it will include broiled fish and vegetables with Water. I figured I can still enjoy my birthday without going over board.

My surgery is Nov. 24 and my birthday is the 20th. The NUT always encourages a cheat day so I'll be taking advantage of it then....but I'm avoiding it now!

Thank God. It will be tough when we still have our current tummy. I am planning to take pictures, weigh and measure myself before the liquid diet and again before surgery. Then do the same every month afterwards.

I will be journaling in adding photos and measurements in a scrapbook.

It will be nice to look back at my progress.

Mine did not encourage a cheat day. At all! I've still got 8lbs to lose and I'm trying to do it before the 27th (but have until 11/4).

She gave us a Protein carb pairing diet that has really worked. I lost 9# in 10 days.

      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. 🤞
