I actually started my 2 week liquid diet today. Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello or pudding and Popsicles. broth. I made homemade Soup for family so I got to have the broth. Actually a good day they say 2-3 is the worst.

mroth - I so get it! I just returned from a holiday party where I played invisible well. My daughter went with me. In theory it was with friends and should have been great, but I had a hard time making conversation at my table and was worried about eating and the pre op and being hungry! I am home and just want to curl up in bed now as I feel emotionally drained. Will the skinny people talk to me when I am thinner? Will my overweight friends avoid me? will I be able to be me?

Good news - I took my 3 oz of left over turkey, I put that on my plate and acted like nothing was different and ate a serving of green Beans and passed all the rest right along past. I stayed with my pre op diet in a social situation.

We can do this, we want to do this, and there is no need to worry about aspects we can't control. We will be fine and we will grow internally as we shrink internally - we got this!

      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. 🤞
