Secret sleever too. I am on the fb page for my doctor, but can't bring myself to post just in the chance that the group is advertised to my Facebook friends with me as a member. Does anyone know how that works? I'm very interested in having as much support as possible, but I really don't want others knowing my business, so I just end up lurking the pages.

So, if it's a closed Facebook group it won't advertise, but if some searches the page it will show up that you're in the group.

My understanding is that if you post in a closed group, your activity may show up in your friends' feed. The only way to avoid facebook friends all being informed of your membership/activity in a group is for the group to be set for secret.

Haha! Couldn't have said it better. The first few days were a breeze. Now I feel like I should be a skeleton but I still have 100+ pounds to lose!

Any tips? I'm open to literally anything other than Protein Shakes and broth.< br>

Does your pre-op program allow sugar free Jello? I've been mixing flavorless Protein Powder into that for a nutritious snack. It totally curbs the cravings.

      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. 🤞
