Just downloaded the app so here it goes! Would love to meet new friends and people going through the same experiences

Ive pretty much been overweight my entire life. At a young age i drooled over clothes that i dreamed would fit me some day. But it didn't happen. I decided to do the surgery because i see people succeed and i really hope to br in thier shoes someday.

I did my surgery on 20/03 .. some 5 days ago and already the pounds are falling off. To anyone who hasn't done it yet..

Really its not that bad!

Stay focused on your goal and motivate you're self!

Lots of luck to everyone

Thank you so much! Xx
I don't really have the support of my family and so i wished to get to know people who've already been on this journey

You know doctor hadn't given me any Protein Shakes or vitamins.. does any one know if this is normal?

Yep you buy your own! Welcome. I've found lots of Facebook groups too that are helpful. I too didn't have real life support and it's nice following others on this journey! Good luck! It's the best thing I ever did for myself!

      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.
