Thanks girl!! Today was definitely my better day. Only problem I'm having is being obsessed with the scale lol I lost 11.3 pounds since the day of surgery and I can't wait to see the number going lower and lower. I haven't been under 250 in a long time

My schedule date is 9/19. I pray I can detox my liver. I haven't lost any weight. I'm in my PreOp liquid diet right now. I was very hungry yesterday and ended up eating some low fat popcorn. Ugh. Today I'm suffering from a headache. I'm having the DS sleeve. I had the lapband 11 years ago and it didn't work at all.

I had sleeve surgery yesterday. Slight nausea for a couple hours after surgery; otherwise a little soreness in my belly and that's it. Slight tightness in chest from gas but it went away fast. No problems walking. Just got home and I feel really good.

@@Gerri918 You have to be very careful not to have carbs during the pre-op diet. The purpose is to put you into ketosis so that you burn fat from your liver - it's not only about losing weight. Stay strong and stick with your diet - I've seen people have surgery cancelled (that day) because their liver was still too large.

My preop diet started yesterday, and let me tell you guys, I felt horrendous!!! Now im finally starting to get over the weakness and headaches and the head fog is starting to clear. Hopefully it's all smooth sailing from here!

Hi Everybody!

I'm scheduled for 9/19/16, and just started my liquid diet today.

My goal is to lose 88 - 93 lbs....and hopefully be able to stop using my CPAP and get off some of my meds (HBP & pre-diabetic)

I am so glad I found this site, it's been good hearing other peoples' stories and how the journey has been for them :)

      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. 🤞
