I think we all have had that same exact thought but believe me it gets so much better after you see the weight coming off!! I went on my liquid diet the week of Thanksgiving and I thought that it was the worst thing I could have ever done. Surprisingly I was ok because I put it in my mind that I wanted a life change and this was the start of it. I think we have to understand that we were addicts of food it doesn't change over night and we are still adjusting. You have days that you wanna just go back to being the old you but I promise the new you will love you for what you have done!! Just keep at it and remember it's a mental thing and once you start to accept that then it will get a whole easier!!!

Thank you soo much @redgirl37. I think it's just a change that I'm going to have to adjust to. And with it just happening Friday it's still new to me. I'm so use to my habits that being different or doing stuff different it's the main thing that's getting to me but I will just have to adjust Day by day and know that it was the best decision for my life

"Buyer's remorse" is incredibly common in the early days post-op. You are starving. You are in pain. You are hormonal (remember your system gets flooded with hormones as you break down stored fat). You are wondering if you will ever feel "normal" again. I promise you, it gets a little better and a little easier every single day. The pain only lasts a week or two. The fatigue only lasts a few weeks. You will eventually work your way through the food stages and get into a new routine with your eating. You WILL feel "normal" again. Maybe not the same "normal" as before. But a new "normal". It will probably take a few months to get there, but you will be SO SO glad you made this decision by then.

We are sleeve twinsies

Have you made goals yet? I went out a year with where I would like to be. I made them sensible and conservative but the ending is FABULOUS! I made them conservative enough that I should blast past them and feel great. Then when it gets hard I think yeah, but will I make my goals if I eat this?

It also sounds AWFUL if you rip a stitch. Yuck!

      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. 🤞
