I am 2 years out from surgery and can say its a BEAR at times still now, not hungry per-say, but my old fat girl mind is telling me oh yea those smell good your hungry, or well its the only thing within reach and you need to eat regardless if its healthy or not. My best advice is what I too (2 years out) still have to remind myself of and plan for - Keep a bottle of Water with you at all times, a premixed low cal high Protein shake (I prefer Premier Protein premixed shakes for on the go) and cut up celery/cucumbers for when you just MUST CRUNCH!

What ever you do DO NOT GIVE IN! I made that mistake stalled my weight loss and put 20 back on! Hold strong my friend you CAN DO IT!

For right now I keep telling myself that if I give into those cravings I will really hurt myself and my surgeon will have to open me back up. It kills the cravings pretty fast. :)

I'll be honest though, I've had a mad pizza craving for 2 weeks.

      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.
