My surgery is scheduled for May 8th! I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. I feel like these will be the longest 2 weeks of my life. LOL

I think my biggest fear is the skin. I don't want to look horrible. :-(

Good luck with your surgery! It's going to be a big month.

I share your surgery date. I worry about my skin too. And plan to workout as soon as I can again. But no matter extra skin is way better then XXXL me!

My date is May 8th. I am going on my 4th day of pre-op liquid diet. It hasn't been horrible but I am not thrilled with the smoothies that I bought from the nutritionist. But I will push through!!!! :-) So exciting and scary. :D :(

2 weeks Pre & 2 weeks Post:

2-8 weeks post:2 months post surgery:
  • Introduction of fresh cooked meats such as chicken breast, ground turkey, fresh fish, and veggies and fruit.< /li>
6 months post surgery:
  • Continue protein choices, veggies, fruits and intro to starches/whole grains.
I hope this helps!

Looking like May 11th for me. Revision from a lap band to the sleeve. Today is my pre op medical clearance. Tomorrow I meet with the doctor to go over all the details. Then Thursday I meet with the dietician to go over pre op and post op eating guidelines. Holy crap! I can't believe it's only 2 weeks away!

      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. 🤞
