@vegasrosee99@yahoo.com Sorry your date got changed. It's so hard waiting! Use this time to clean a closet or something. LOL. I did do a lot of laundry and cleaning the week of surgery. The nesting mode kicked in, I got a lot done. I'm 12 days post-op and already have a pair of jeans to retire. I'm so excited. I've only lost 16 pounds but I've lost 38 inches. I'm not getting in all the Protein and Water they suggest. I'm just not hungry or thirsty so I don't think of it. I keep saying I'll do better tomorrow. Hopefully I will. Are you on a liquid diet? My surgeon had me on one 2 weeks prior. That was very hard for me.

Was not totally compliant with pre-op diet. Now I have to go weigh in and see if I can still have sleeve done Wednesday. I pray I can. If I can't do it now, I don't think another week will help. I've waited so long. I'm scared to fail.

One of my daughters is getting married in mid October. My surgery is Sept 23rd. I'm trying to predict what size I will be 3.5 weeks post-op. Thoughts anyone?

Are you on the full liquid diet for two weeks before surgery? If so, i would guess you would be down about 20 pounds at that point.

I am also scheduled for surgery on the 17th. Remove the lap band and do the sleeve. Any ideas for clear liquid diet are appreciated.

      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. 🤞
