Hey! Introductions



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I am 24 yo from Australia. I'm also new here.

My surgery is set for 24 November. Im Super excited, it's been a long three years I've been preparing for it, financially (as I am self-financing) and equipping myself with as much knowledge about it wls, particularly gastric bypass.

I know support is important. I hope to make good friendships here as this can be a lonely journey especially if you don't have people around who understand what you are going through.

I had the gastric bypass and the first days in the hospital were hard but when i got home on the 3rd day i felt better. And for the food i dont know why i only crave for cold things. Hot things like broth or tea makes me nauseas. But know im on phase 2 of the diet i can eat purees and it felt good. With the purees i kind of feel like full but i also started to have that hunger feeling that i didnt have with just the liquids. But really i feel great maybe because i Was expecting some hard recovery but i cant complain [emoji4]. And how about you? Do the y switch your diet al ready? And i really hope your pain is getting better

Oh that is comforting to know that the recovery is not bad[emoji5] . Thats interesting that you have been craving only cold food. At least the puree stage has a lot more texture. What are your stats if you don't mind me asking?
I haven't had surgery just yet. I'll be having the mini gastric bypass on 24 Nov. As current, I'm trying to lose weight bit by bit.
HW 140kg
CW 137.7 kg
Goal weight before surgery is 125kg.

      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.
