Things are well. My blood sugars have been in the normal range for the past 3 days. That is super exciting for me.

I just started reducing my caffeine today. I bought some coffee that is supposed to have half the normal levels. I am trying to step down so I can avoid the bad headaches. I am going to switch to full Decaf in a couple days.

This isn't easy for me because I love bold full flavored coffee. I can do this though. I know as soon as I am allowed I will drink the good stuff again.

I was sleeved on Thursday, 5/4. I came home the next day. I was nervous going in, but it feels really good on the other side. I woke up from the surgery in some discomfort, but once that was managed, it has been pretty smooth sailing. No hunger, no cravings. I cannot even express how freeing that is.

Good luck May sleevers! Can't wait to read about your progress!

I was just telling my husband how amazing it was. I'm getting like 500-600 calories and I'm not hungry. Before surgery I was like "those people are f*cking crazy if they think I can survive 500 calories a day!" They really weren't kidding about hunger disappearing. I am hit now and then with head hunger though. Thought I'd start crying when I could smell my husband cooking chicken parm for the family. I just had to relax and let it sink in that even if I COULD eat it, I probably wouldn't be able to since my tummy doesn't like anything.

So true!!! I was in costco yesterday and they were baking brownies. They smelled delicious. I could have smelled them all day. But I feel so full all the time - if someone would have handed one to me, I would have dropped it and run! That is a huge change for sure.

      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. 🤞
