It seems like the last six months have flown by. I remember thinking, "April is a world away!"

I've stocked my pantry with refried Beans, unsweetened applesauce, various Protein Bars, PB2, Unjury chicken broth, and Protein Shakes. I even bough a nifty new food processor for after the surgery. It feels like I'm nesting!

My surgery will be April 3rd. I'm starting to have these mini waves of panic/excitement every once in a while. Thank goodness for this forum! You all keep me sane and informed :)

I know, right?

Getting excited. Nervous too. But far more excited.

Right now just stocked up on SF Jello and string cheese for pre and post-op.

Have a dietitian (RD) appointment Thursday so might see what good post-op foods she wants me to have.

My finals were literally on the same day, and one day after my surgery. Thankfully uni had them moved to a week earlier for me. And there was much rejoicing.

Hey everyone! I have my last dietician appointment on Thursday and should be finding out my surgery date pretty soon. I have to do the 2 week pre op diet too so I'm thinking I should be sleeved Mid April! I'm so excited! I am loving this application. Makes is so nice to be able to actually talk to people going through what I am doing. Hoping the best for everyone and hope to see updates!

      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. 🤞
