Recommended Posts

@@xtinaBlue I feel the same way. This is a struggle. I keep trying to stay positive and think about the big picture. I am so nauseated. I feel very tired. I hope this is normal!! I am drinking Premier (they seem to work best for me) The chewable Vitamins are nasty. I may have to switch. Thanks for asking!!

The evening is the worst time for me. What Vitamins are you all taking?

I'm taking Sanatogen A-Z. Day 5 of pre-op 8lbs down and getting some energy back.

Bkskinny, are you referring to Optifast shakes?

If you are, the shakes I find are quite filling. They are full of Vitamins and minerals. They come in flavours including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, coffee, banana, caramel to name a few. My favourite is the banana one as it tastes like banana icecream. I can't stand the Optifast deserts or Soups. I'd rather starve than have those.

I'm on day 2 as well... Wicked awful headache yesterday. But it was better today I think bc i doubled my Water. I woke up and had a 8oz of Water that helped immediately. I've been really nauseas today though. It's tough getting the Protein down

      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.
