Feb 9 surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello all! My surgery is set for feb 9 and I start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I'm excited, nervous and everything other emotion you can think of. Right now I'm most worried about the 2 weeks and getting though that.

Yeah I'm 2/9 as well. I start my 2 week low carb tomorrow. Just scared and add the anxiety it makes it hard. I kinda wish it would hurry and be done. Lol but then I would worry about the next thing. Lol

What an exciting time for you. I had RNY surgery on 5/27/14 and have done amazingly well. The two weeks on the liquid diet will fly by, trust me. Now that you have a surgery date, you will find it's easier to stick to the plan than you can imagine. I was a big time food addict and had no trouble with hunger or urges to cheat. It's so exciting that you are strongly motivated to succeed! Best of luck!

Hi everyone! Surgery date was Feb 5th. Weight was 317, this morning was 290.2. Feeling nauseous almost everyday, hard to get my Protein in because everything tastes like crap. Drinking lemon Water everyday does help. How is everyone else doing?

Sounds like your doing great! Hitting those milestones like into the 2's are awesome. I am still pre-op, am having my surgery in a couple of weeks on March 30th. I'm sure I will have the same issues as you. I know it helps me to read all these forums to know what expect. That way I won't be shocked by anything I feel or come across! I think this site has prepared me way more than my MD has in the 1 visit I've seen him before he operates on me lol. Plus I've made a couple of friends. I see you are new too. I hope you enjoy the support and message me anytime.

      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. 🤞
