Thoughts and prayers for one and all. I had my RNY on Monday the 19th and am home doing remarkably well. My new mantra is walk-sip-walk-sip... I suggest you keep on top of pain management and follow post-op schedule as strictly as you did the pre-op liquid diet. The toughest part for me is the 1oz of clear liquid every 15 minutes (48+ oz in the day). I am using ProSource berry Liquid Protein for 3 1oz Protein Shots throughout the day and doing my 30 minutes of walking in 3 10-minute sections in different day parts. Keep a pillow handy to cover your stomach with for coughing up post-op "guck". Feel free to reach out if you need someone to chat with in the days and months ahead.

Well the day is quickly approaching, 26th am I ready? Yes, I just want to get it done and start the rest of my new life. Still not nervous not scared, not excited. Prepo. Diet has not been too bad, some days I'm a little hungry. Just drink more Water. Just need to get thru Friday Saturday and Sunday.... I've got this!

I just got my business day-before scheduling confirmation call - all set for Monday morning at 8:15. I have to be there at 6am, which sucks, but I'm just ready to move on to the next step.

Had a rough morning, I guess it has all hit me, that I'm having WLS tomorrow, my emotions are all over the place. I question, should I do this, I don't want to, then I do. I'm pretty sure this is normal.

I feel the same, my surgery is Wednesday. I've been able to lose 40 pounds on my own, so I'm questioning if I really need it. But then I think that I do need it, but then I worry ......hope all goes well for you tomorrow!

      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. 🤞
