I also feel like my life is on hold until the surgery.... so many emotions and hopes. I can't seem to get anything done and can't think about anything else.... My surgery is on Nov 10th.. !!!!

I start my shakes on the 28th...2 days before my bday. I've already warned everyone that any cakes or dinners need to be done the weekend before...LOL! I am so ready though. I feel like my life is on hold just waiting for the sleeve to happen.

@@bhopeful tell me about it! Cool...We have the same date!

@@brittneywlsj - I have Instagram but I don't really use it.

So what is everyone doing to prepare for surgery? Are you currently dieting? I'm supposed to be but I keep using the "need-to-enjoy-now-soon-i-wont-be-able-to-eat-anything" excuse and I've been pretty much eating anything I want. :(

@JenSan120 - ME TOO! I am eating things I usually wouldn't, like bread, carbs, Cereal, milk. ..... Not even terrible things. But I usually am on diet and limiting what I eat, although still don't lose. But now with eating more I am putting on :-(

I don't really have to diet. Just log food for the past 4 months and try to incorporate better behaviors. Only diet I have to do is liquid 2 days before surgery. I have made many changes and am doing well. I am still doing a couple last meals or food funerals if you will.. my hardest thing has been excercise. They tell me just walk, walk, walk. But I walk a ton at work.. like miles... so I have a hard time doing other excercise. I like zumba and jazzercise but my schedule makes it hard to do a class so I try to stream them but then I don't like doing them alone...

      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. 🤞
