LOL...I have been feeling down the past few days and I realized it's because I don't know what to do with myself now till surgery. I've been so focused on getting approved and getting a date, now I'm like uhhhhhhh now what??? It's particularly annoying because I'm sure there are things I should get done before surgery to be prepared, I just can't seem to focus ony of it!

I'm set myself another goal weight to hit before surgery. I was so focused on getting approved that my weight hasn't moved in 2 weeks. Gives me something to work on.

I also know that there are still things I need to prepare for but I need to organize my thoughts and put a list together. My mind is all over the place thinking about surgery.

I did too, but the scale is absolutely refusing to move. I think it's determined to remind me how much I need the surgery because while I was losing well earlier, I was doubting my need for it. And I have lists, I just keep adding to them instead of tacking what's already on there. I'm so scattered!

Saw the pulmonologist yesterday and he gave my clearance. I have a mild form of sleep apnea that he is sure will go away once I lose some weight. I have my pre surgical testing scheduled for Monday morning which I see going smoothly and getting the thumbs up there as well. My final clearance is with my PCP which is scheduled for the 19th and I see that going well too. Then the fun 2 week liquid diet would begin on 4/25. Getting so close and super excited!

      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. 🤞
