Well just got back from my appointment and who is down 12lbs? This chick right here and I feel awesome about that I know it is cause I'm basically eating nothing and don't get me wrong I'm STARVING but hey I just know that if I go into surgery with a lower body weight that it means I have less to lose and I think that is something great!

This pre op is so hard!! So proud of your loss!!! Thanks for keeping us all motivated to keep pushing!

I had my last appointment today that my insurance required me to do, my coordinator will submit my paperwork in the morning, we are also aiming for a January date. Say a little prayer for me, hoping this process goes through quick. ????

Ooo fingers crossed to all you gals and guys out there waiting for your date. As much as we all want our dates to be closer just consider this time to adopt some healthy eating habits and get right of some bad ones! Rooting for everyone and If anyone is interested I just spent the day sipping on some different broths and Soups and found some great ones like mexican tortilla Soup, chinese hot and sour and thai chicken. All have a nice kick and changes it up from the shakes. Those are all made from Swanson and if you go to traders joes I found that their Miso soup is great there! kinda pricey though!

Wow you only weigh 172 and are going with gastric sleeve? If I can ask why not do the lap band?

My emotions are all over the place, i am so nervous and excited.

How many calories are your preop diet? My doc gave me 1000 calories which i feel is too high.

      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. 🤞
