December sleevers



Recommended Posts

Looking for a buddy to connect with. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 12/15. My pre op diet is giving me head aches. I'm so hungry. I'm started to feel discouraged and thinking maybe I should cancel. I'm nervous and scared.

You can do this! My surgery is tomorrow morning and I am nervous too! I've had thoughts like..."maybe I should just be fat and happy"...but I know myself and I am not happy and feel like crap all the time! We will be so happy when we look back on our journey and reach our goals! Good luck to you!!

My surgery is the 16th so we can stay in touch if you want! I'm nervous too but when I need reassurance I just take a selfie and I'm ready.

Thanks everyone. I needed the encouragement. Taking a selfie is not a bad idea. That will keep me going! It's nice to know I have others to talk to.

So glad I found this post. Mine is 12/21 so I'm only on day 3 of the pre-op diet. All the sweet shakes are rough. I craved salt today.

Definitely nervous, like you, about being able to handle it all after the fact but am motivated by the incredible change for the future that lies ahead. (wow that sounded super cheesy).

I am down to keep in touch if you are!

My Sleeve was 12/15 as well. I'm happy to buddy with anyone! So far I'm the only person I know that has ever done a sleeve so it's not easy to find anyone to relate.

I'm in Kansas.

I went with Soup I like (but stuck with the light variety) cream of potato, which I didn't need to blend but veggie and bean Soup mostly. The dietician at the Drs office said I could eat most any soup that had been blended and it's worked great so far.

Today was the first day I got to eat smoshy foods, so I had a scrambled egg this morning. I don't think I've ever been so happy to eat an egg.

      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. 🤞
