So I am approved for surgery and am scheduled for November 19th. I am beyond ready to start this new chapter in my life. My husband says why don't you have it in December that way you can have a last Thanksgiving meal with the family. I thought about and then said eating they way I do has gotten me to the point I am at now. I think I have had enough actual Thanksgiving meals and just be thankful for this new journey and life ahead of me!

I will be your sleeve buddy - I go it at 8:30 am on the 19th (just found out today). I start my preop diet tomorrow. I thought the same thing about T-giving but I remembered I don't really care of T-giving foods and, if I'm serious, I'm ready now. This also puts me on the road to recovery for Christmas.

Pre-op survival: I mixed vanilla Protein shakes with coffee which was really good. I also mixed my chocolate powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury with coffee. It was great b/c its cold here so it was like hot cocoa. I ordered wonton Soup and then just drank the broth. Got in 93g. Only 4 more days!!!!!

How is everyone? Longing for Wed when I get REAL food aka cottage cheese and yogurt. Today (day 6) I felt great. Still some pain with the higher incisions but put in a full day at work and am not beat. I actually still have energy. I'm doing well with the Protein and other liquids. No issues at all - sip sip sipping.

How's all of the November sleevers?! Lost 40lbs and feel great! Cant eat a full meal as instructed by the doctor. I only can eat maybe 2 forks full and that's about it. Then again in about 3hrs. Wanna know how everyone else is doing.

I'm doing well. I have my check up on Wednesday of this week. Lost 45 lbs. I Don't understand how do you gain weight when I'm not eating much. Only gained 1 pound one week then loss 3 lbs. I have already start exercising but will wait before starting weights. Be careful eating potatoes and breads. Remember, Protein PROTEIN.

Are you able to eat bread? I haven't eaten any bread or potatoes. I've been scared that it wouldn't agree with my stomach.

      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. 🤞
