Blackhawkpro. Sorry your surgery was cancelled! The sacrifice is worth it. Work towards a goal that you know you will see a light in a tunnel attitude

Blackhawkpro I actually cancelled my Kaiser and went with my husbands insurance because I felt like I was being jerked around.

Today Oct 12 is surgery day for me. I will be in Charlottesville Va. Between the magnesium citrate and nerves I can't sleep. Mostly the magnesium citrate.

Surgery date 10/17. Started my 5 day liquid diet today. But I just cheated with some garlic bread and cheese. I feel awful. Any advice? Would that affect my surgery?

I don't think it will. But I'm no expert. I started my week long diet and the first day is extremely hard.

Try to take a walk when it's dinner time or anytime your family is sitting down to eat and chew on some ice.

Set a different goal for morning, noon, and , evening. So you have something to look forward to besides eating real food. It's a hard time not being able to chew. I'll be praying for you Ursula

      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. 🤞
