Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I just got the call for my surgery time tomorrow!!! I should be recovering by this time tomorrow and couldn't be more excited about it!!! Just wanted to shout it from the rooftop!!!!

I was nervous and anxious until this morning when I got really excited about it. I don't know what switch was flipped but all of my fears and anxieties have gone away and I hope this all for you too!! We're all on the road to 'smaller' and better things and we should be excited for the new path ahead.

Good luck to everyone on their journey!

Stay tuned! I'll post updates on my progress for anyone who is interested!! :)

Hi all!!! Just woke up from yet another nap. Am feeling a little better to post this. Dr came in and said my surgery went very very well. Was down 16 lbs when I came in this morning so my liver was nice and shrunken. CAm in a little pain (gas is actually in abdomen not shoulders) but I'm already up and walking!!!! Even tho I feel drunk when they have me do that.

Hope all went well with your surgery Lisa!!! I'm ready to begin the rest of my life!! :)

Sorry it has been so long since I've updated on my progress! I'm home now!! Had to stay an extra night for observation since I was not eating (drinking) enough. But I loved my nurse staff so I didn't mind it much. The ride home was ok, but I am so very glad to be home! Got on the scale and lost 4 lbs since the surgery. No weight loss right after they said because of all the fluids and such from surgery, but now I feel like I'm on a roll!

Drinking enough and walking are sooooo important! I can't tell you how much better and more normal I feel now that I got my fluids in. Every little bit helps!!

Hunger is gone, but I can't even begin to tell you how badly I want a giant salted soft pretzel. Guess that's been my only craving since surgery. Maybe just the lack of salted stuff that I was so used to eating. Beef broth I guess just isn't cutting it lol but overall these past few days have been easier than the prior and each day gets that much better :)

      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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
