Don't forget that we have an already well established completely SECRET group for May and June Sleevers!

Send me a message on here with your email so I can add you.

Literally no one will be able to see the group because it will not even show in the search function on Facebook.< /p>

:) Good luck everyone!

June 11th and I can't wait!! I've waited long enough! Bring it on... We ALLLLL got this! I think the wait is the worst part.

I'm June 12 th and I can't wait either!! I am starting kind of a Protein shake/ fruit/veggie diet tomorrow then whe it gets closer I will switch over to just the shakes. I have a really high BMI and I want to do everything I can so there are no complications.

Where are you having your surgery done?

Hey :) One of my buddies pointed out that if I didn't want my older sister to find out about the surgery until after the fact I should probably not use my real name :) So using my 'real' forum name that I've used forever and ever lol sorry if I confused anyone!

I am scheduled for June 12th! I know I need this but I am so scared!! I keep having doubts. I know I need it and have to do it. One minute I'll be excited for the future then the next minute I think I'm crazy for doing this! Is this normal? Do you other June sleevers feel this way?

By the way, this is my first post :) I am a 38 year old mother of three, and have been overweight since I was 9! My parents have weight related health issues and I don't want that for my future. That's why I need this and am choosing this!

@@hopefulmom76 oh my yes!!! I'm scheduled fur June 12 as well. I'm doing this so I can avoid getting diabetes and lots of other illnesses. And so I can be more active with my 6yr old and help him develop good habits, cause I already see him picking up some of my bad ones!!! I was going back and forth too, but I'm 40 years old and don't want to keep losing and regaining the same dang 15 lbs like I have for the past 10 years, when I need to use 80! So I know I have to do something different. Cause repeating the same diets, is just insanity! BTW for inspiration, I look at before and after sleeve pics. There's one forum under post gastric sleeve questions.

Seriously!!!??? Same day!! Wow, that's awesome! I'm going to be alone for the first day & night, my sister will be able to join me at the recovery house. I'm a bit nervous going by myself. And find myself waffling this week, cause I just found out I'm on my own for first day. It will be so great to meet you. Got your back girl!!! We are doing this to be healthier and breed good habits for our kids! Yeah!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
