Calling May 31st Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm not on Facebook but I really do appreciate the support of this website. I've been jumping through hoops for several years for my sleeve and now that I am only 12 days away from surgery, I am so scared that the hunger and weakness in the pre op diet will cause me to abandon it. I knew that I was addicted to food, that I love food. I eat (ate) for thousands of reasons. Being hungry never factored into it. But now I am hungry, really hungry. Is this how it will feel after the sleeve operation?

Anyone else besides me getting sleeved on May 31st. I definitely need some people to stick together with while I go through this. I start my pre-opp diet (which is not nearly as awful as some of the ones I've heard about on here thank goodness!) on the 18th! I'm going out for Hibachi and Sushi the evening of the 17th which is my favorite just to enjoy it - not saying goodbye.. I'll have it again someday but it may be several months so I need to get a last crack at it :D

I'm June 6th, nervously excited...been thinking about it for a couple years, now it's down to 18 days. I'm happy to see others that are nervous as well....more big lifestyle changes continuing.

I'm June first - I have lost 15 lbs on the liver diet - one week left

I am surprised there is such variation between Drs . Mine is 2 weeks of Protein shakes (x 2) and one small dinner ( with more protein) .... Kinda wondering why I don't have to do Clear liquids day before

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
