7:30am EST it's showtime. Dropped 20lbs during this hellish liquid diet and I'm sitting at 298 right now. I wanna get down to 220 or lower which sounds right since I'm 6'3!
To everyone that's gone before me I hope you all show me the right path because I plan on helping those who come after me. Pretty pumped up right now just wanted to post so I can update you all in the following days! Wish me luck.


Your user name gives the impression you may be from the Philadelphia area. I'm about 30 minutes south of Philly .... Dr Williams is doing my surgery at the University of Penn ... where was yours done and by who?

Good on you getting the stuff early. It will make things much less stressful. I got released from the hospital today and am doing better, they gave me liquid pain meds which are helping a lot when I need it. I'm suprised at my weight loss already. Started the liquid diet at 317 and today I'm 294 with no appetite thank god lol

I'm getting sleeved July 12. Anxious. In that mode where everything has to be done. Vitamins purchased. Post op food in. Bills paid. Enough dog food in to keep the best friend happy. And must finish all that gardening! The head rattles.

Appreciate it all! Glad to see the support. Picked up my Vitamins tonight. Flinstones, B12, and ordered some calcium citrate meltables from Amazon. I'm supposed to get Vitamin D but I could only find like D3 and other D's but no straight Vitamin D. Other than that I should be good right guys?




Nurse here. Get the D3

Thanks a lot! Yeah things are going fine, still on my liquid diet until Thursday but I been slowly heading back to the gym getting cardio in, haven't ran yet because I'm scared what the bouncing will do for my incisions. I just want to start lifting weights already lol

I went from 317 when I started liquid diet and today I am 287.6 but I've been here for about 4-5 days now so I think I'm experiencing my first mini stall. Makes sense right? 2 weeks pre op and 1 week post op = 3 week dreaded stall right?

      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.
