Yay! So awesome. In limbo mode too being sleeved, 6/8. Trying to keep my weight below goal. Last two weeks let myself off the diet leash just a bit. Went up 2 lbs and now down under a 1 lb from goal. My old way of thinking is like yeah you have a month you can eat then lose it. Um yes & no. Not sure how you are but some of my favorite things like pizza just do not taste as good after being so hardcore on the pre-op diet. So salty and can taste the sugar in sauce so might as well stick to the low carb cauliflower crap I have gotten use to lol. Are you planning a last supper or food funeral? It is not advised but sounds like it is a pretty common practice. I have not full on had a huge meal because I am afraid of the guilt and what that will do to my motivation. Then I get overwhelmed like what would I have anyway? Well here is to our new lives waiting for us!!! Here is to the countdown!!!!! Happy for you.

My pre op diet is only 2 weeks of a 1200 calorie diet and I don't start that until 6/6. Other than that I am starting to cut out the crap food to prepare. I'm not really planning on a food funeral, but I would like to eat at Olive Garden 1 more time haha. Pasta isn't going to be my friend ever again.

I am a little nervous about the actual procedure, but other than that I am ecstatic and can't wait!!!

Good luck and stay in touch!!!

      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. 🤞
