Recommended Posts

OMG, all the commercials on TV are about food, McDonald's, Burger King, Italian food, everything is about food. It looks so good, going on day five of the liquid diet. ????

That's why I don't watch tv and anything I do watch I tivo it to skip commercials.

I had my nutrition class on monday and was able to sample their Protein drink. Labs completed Tuesday along with psychologist meeting. Wasn't real impressed with him. I wrote out a sample schedule based on current work schedule for long term success, but keep fretting over the pre-op liquid schedule. I keep second guessing myself over the success of this long term.

I am and I can't decide if I'm elated or terrified. Depends on which video I watch. Everyone sticking to their pre op diet? I find cabbage Soup diet Soup helps.

Don't know what to pack...? Hi all- I'm traveling quite a distance for my surgery and am going to be on my own so I want to prep for all. What should I bring food wise for post surgery? Any recommendations for clear broths / drinks etc? Broths seem to be really high sodium anyone have anything else they recommend that will provide acceptable subsistence?

      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. 🤞
