Recommended Posts

I'm the 16th! I am 6 days into my pre op diet. I have lost 11 lbs during pre op so far but I am struggling with headaches and diarrhea. Haven't cheated though.

High weight 265. Current weight 245. 5'4". 38 years old.

Ritcheycop, I am nervous but just to be on the other side. I have done the being large for long enough. Because I am traveling for my surgery, I have been preparing this past week with the essentials I need to take and for sure what I need for post op. I went to the costco and bought the heavy items, broth, Protein, Vitamins. Things I won't be cleared to carry until much later. And of course loaded up on sugar Jello. I figured for the perishables I would wait right until the day before I leave. As for the diet, I start in the morning. I am on a five day pre-op. But I do notice that over the past few days I have been eating less and less and letting my stomach get to the point where it makes noise; it may be weird but it makes me feel good.

I already had the bouillon cubes and other items on hand. Things like hebiclens (skin cleanser), gas-x strips, heating pad, etc. I picked up already as well.

      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. 🤞
