Recommended Posts

I broke my pinky finger yesterday (or jammed it). can't take pain killers this week. gotta live with the pain. OMG. Of all things to happen. It hurts to brush my teeth (holding the toothbrush), brush my hair, hold the toilet paper...if you get my meaning. it's my dominate hand, for crying out loud!

Trust me it will absolutely fly by!! I thought it would never get here but looking back it has been so fast. Do as much research as you can and start transitioning to your preop diet ahead of time so it isn't as drastic of a change!! Thank you for the well wishes!

Good luck!!! I know how excited/nervous you are. I was sleeved on 3/9 and without even thinking about it, was sitting at a softball game on Friday and realized I was sitting there with my legs crossed! What a feeling! I haven't been able to do that for...well, who knows how long it was. I was so excited when I realized what I was now able to do.

@@wannaBthinsoon do you have a 2 week liquid diet? I just realized I've been on this liquid diet for 12 days without cheating!!! I can't believe we're so close.

I'm on the 2 week pre-op diet too and have been so hungry but am doing fine regardless. I've lost 6 lbs in 12 days.

      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.
