I feel ya!!! I so do!!! My boss asked me if I wanted carry out today. The receptionist asked me if if I was "hangry". These fools do not understand how close they came to bodily harm. Just kidding but WOW people just really don't get it. This is HARD.

Absolutely, no one really knows unless they're in our shoes. I'm on day seven of a fourteen day clear liquid diet, surgery is next Wednesday. After, about day four or five. It's becomes more natural. I still get the urge to bite into something, then I tell myself not to give in.. Just remember why were all here. To better ourselves and to start our new journeys. I'm drinking 3 to 4 Protein shakes a day, along with flavored waters, if I feel low on sugar: I pour 1/2 cup of clear fruit (apple, grape or cranberry) juices along with 1/2 cup of Water. Also, have sugar free carmel to suck on... Good luck everyone, just one day at a time..

Im on day 3 of the liquid pre-op diet. Started on the 17th, surgery on the 31st. Surprisingly not as hungry as I thought I'd be. I drink 3.5 or 4 premier shakes a day, 1 serving of yogurt too. The yogurt helps!! I can have a 8oz glass of skim-milk but I've never really liked milk by itself.

I'd say day 1 was pretty rough but sugar free Popsicles & sugar free jell-o got me through it. 2nd day I stuck to Water, my shakes, yogurt and two cups of broth.

Im in the state of mind - keep my eyes on the prize!! I have pictures and my calendar in my fridge to keep me motivated.

We can do this!!

      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. 🤞
