Hey all! I just joined. I'm 4 days post. Feeling sore and having acid reflux issues just got medicine this afternoon. How long did it take all of you to not feel that sensation when you swallow?

Yep, two week liquid! Yesterday was hard, I was hungry. I gotta keep my mind busy. Weekends will be hard for me that's when I rewarded myself with food.< /p>

Stay strong. So you can remind me of that too when it's my turn. Your outcome will be so worth it. My drs think mine is gonna be early January. I did all my requested items in one week. They thought it would take at least three. So I'm hopeful it may speed up my date. Where do you live?

I was the same. I was super eager to get all my stuff done. The thing that held me up was stupid insurance. I live in Florida

I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and it has been rough but seeing/feeling the weightloss has kept me motivated. 5 days and 19 pounds so far! I was having a hard time drinking the store bought chicken broths so yesterday I made my own. I used chicken and veggies and then strained everything out. It smelled great and tasted a thousand times better than that boxed broth crap.

      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. 🤞
