Recommended Posts

Feeling very anxious, and all I want to do is eat! I am heavy because of many different reasons health, bad eating habits and genetics. But I have never been a big eater and ate all day. Sometimes I can eat one meal a day and be good. But since I know I have to do the preop diet all I can do is think about food and eating. Uugghh ????

I felt that way before today. I was so nervous. But today went good. Three days early. But I'm going to eat tomorrow night for my son's birthday dinner. We are going out and we never do that. So I just have to keep reminding myself just to have a little instead of the whole entire schebang like I normally would do. It's unbelievable how much I can eat. My stomach honestly has to be huge. I've always been that way. So maybe tomorrow will be different for you too!

I think the eating once a day is another thing that ruined my metabolism.

I agree it's not good to eat one meal a day. My family wants to go have dinner on Friday before I start my preop diet and I am not sure if I want to go because I don't want to over eat.

January 13th here. Started my pre op today. It's going ok but I feel hungry. Water helps so far. So excited but scared too. This is gonna change my life in so many ways and I'm nervous to see what that will be.

I am getting sleeved on Jan 15 in MX. Who is everyone going through for their surgery? I am using Dr Ortiz with A Lighter Me and traveling alone. Pretty nervous about going alone, but it seems everyone becomes friends once they meet in MX so I am very hopeful with that. Sleeve buddies need to stick together lol.

We're going to have to keep in touch thru the rest of the pre op and then whenever we can, post op :)

How's everyone doing on their pre-op diet? I've made it through 3 days! It's not terrible, but it's not my favorite thing, either. :)

liquid diet, started a few days early, but last night I had a few bites of low carb food at a dinner party to keep from drawing attention. Man I can't do that it gives me all kinds of head hunger. I'm am all our nothin kinda girl. Anyway I have no more parties or dinners to go to before surgery so that's good.

      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.
