Jessica, you made the right decision. You were brave enough to do this procedure so in my opinion your half way done because now, you cant go back. There is no other choice but to finish what you started because your dr. Cant return your belly back ????. food will be always be there just not right now. Look at it like you are trying to figure your relationship with food and you need a time out from it . You need to focus on yourself not food. The most important thing here right now it is you on how this is going to change your life forever. You are getting liberated. Enjoy. I hope i make sense. Well, that is what i said to my self today and i feel better. Did you go for your follow up? Good luck

My appointment is Wednesday I'm sure once I get weighed I'll feel much better. I'm very independent and I think that's what's killing me and eating bad food would take all the pain away..once the weeks go on I will be fine...thank you they do say to expect this

It is your thanksgiving on Thursday? I'm canadian and we have ours in October. It was actually great. I made all the usual food for the family. I was able to have a little bit of most things. I am 10 months post op gastric bypass. The point of it was I wanted to keep our traditional family time/ meal special. And it was, even with an enormous fight among the teenagers the night before. You will be okay. It gets easier one day at a time. Keep on keeping on!

For the first 3 weeks all I did was cry and mope.. We usually treat our emotions with food and this procedure forcs us to face our demons head on... It will get better as you find healthier ways to deal with your emotions... Reading.. Writing.. Exercising... Making love...

      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. 🤞
