Hi Everyone,

I'm having my Sleeve done on 1 April, and I'm looking for people who will be having surgery the same day. I want a group where we are all going through the same thing at the same time. Here we can talk about:

- Pre-Op To Do's

- Grocery List for After the surgery

- Vitamin Intake

- Concerns

- Post-Op Journey

- Success

- And anything that will help us with our journey.

I hope to meet some long lasting friends that understand our Struggle.

I am also going to be sleeved on April 1st. At this point all i can say is I can not wait, this 2 weeks of liquids is driving me crazy. My weight did not come from eating sweets, I am a bread and Pasta gal. All these sweet shakes, Jello and pudding .... yuk. I need something a little on the salty side, Any suggestions ????

I'm a bread and Pasta gal myself. And part of my weight is stress related. I'm not too sure of anything saltly. I didn't have to do 2 weeks of liquids. I actually start my liquids on Monday. I think I would of gone nuts if I had to do it for 2 weeks. Have you done any shopping yet?

Hello April 1st Sleevers

How is everyone doing????

Tomorrow is our first week Anniversary!

I feel great lots of challenges getting all Protein in!

Yet, in the big picture I am so pleased with my decision!

Today I finally hit my Pre-op day weight! GAINED 8 lbs

With all those fluids!!!! Scary! Now ready to watch

The scales start that downward movement!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Linda

I'm right in here with the two of you. I'm 4/2. Now that most of the pain is gone I am doing better at drinking my shakes and getting Water. I have done mostly water, but crystal light with some crunch ice is feeling like a blessed treat. I was walking/running before surgery and did a 5k the Sunday before surgery. I think the past 4 months of exercise has really helped me get up and get moving.

      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. 🤞
