Dmaddox1 I also start my liquids December 1 which will be my first day back from vacation so I will look forward to a 7 day detox LOL. My surgery date is December 8th. I am excited knowing this will be my last vacation being overweight shying from photos and I will make my weight goals next year

How you doing on the liquids? I can't seem to find a Protein Drink that is not icky! They are tolerable, but just have a horrible after taste and they are too thick. This is our 4th day of these drinks and I am already tired of them. How bout you?

I'm a newbie too. Just joined today. My surgery date is scheduled for December 29th. I am on week two of the pre-surgery diet and finding it to be a challenge. Shocker huh? How's everyone else doing with the waiting bit?

I'm doing better on the shakes! I finally (after spending a fortune on them) found one I could handle! I guess you could say the Unjury brand is my favorite! They seem to be lighter & not so milky like! I'm not a milk drinker anyways...so I like them! I am retired...so I throw them in my ninja with 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/2 cup Water & 4 ice cubes! Not a Sonic malt by any means...but I am not hating them so! How are you doing?

I like the idea of a new year with a new healthy plan.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
