February 16th is the day????



Recommended Posts

Hello all, February 16th the day I am to change my life for the better!

I am getting nervous and really starting to realize how much I miss eating food now that I'm on the pre-opt diet. I never knew I could smell everything????

The first three days of this diet was extremely difficult????????

Considering I was a yo-yo with my weight and eating habits this should be a breeze but it is a struggle ????

I need to really change my relationship with food????

I can't wait for the big day, so I think I'm so nervous about everything

Hi Matida!

I understand your feelings! I will start my preop diet Wednesday.....the day my husband is getting sleeved ????! My date is Feb 25. I am starting to realize the importance of this forum and possibly the support group that my hospital offers in getting past some potential issues. You mentioned needing to change your relationship with food - that is exactly what my husband and I are talking about.....food has been our social existence for EVER! It's time to develop other relationships and unthinkin we can all help each other with that! Best of luck to you. Keep us posted on your surgery and how you are doing!! ????????

      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.
