Today was a horrible day. Family got together for the holiday with a nice cook out. I felt so left out and longing for the ability to partake. It was not even fattening foods for the most part.

I'm so completely over Protein shakes, too. The only one I don't have to choke down is the slim fast advanced (the 20g Protein one) in caramel latte. Best day: went to Outback with the family for Father's Day and had myself a very tasty, delicious and satisfying bowl of French onion Soup broth. Ordered it without cheese (the best part) or bread or even the onions. And I'm sure the sodium was high, but damn that was sooooo good! First time I've felt satiated since surgery!

I'm in Tampa, Florida too! My pre-surgery packet was submitted yesterday to my insurance company so I just have to wait for an approval. I'm having surgery in plant city though. How are you feeling today ladies?

Feeling good! Accompanied my parents to a winery and stares at things. (I'm not a drinker anyways). Moving on to pureed food is interesting and I get bored of eating!

I'm glad to hear that you're doing good. What part of Tampa are you in? I'm in the Westchase part of town.

I had my 2 week post op today. Feeling pretty much back to normal, everything healing well. Dabbling in purée and bites of mushy foods. Bought a Fitbit (if you knew me you'd know that's completely out of character for me ). I live in Brooksville.

Wonderful! I have a fit bit and I really enjoy it. For some reason they gave me my 2 week appointment... 3 weeks after surgery lol!

Dr. Dietrick switched to Florida Hospital Physicians Group. Moved down the hall too. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

Interesting. That may have to do with the random extra bill I got for them. Thank you for the heads up!

      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. 🤞
