Hi all! I can't believe this journey so far, and it has just barely started. As of today I am two months and two days out from the day I started my pre op liquid diet. On that day I weighed 292.8 lbs. Two weeks later the morning of surgery on October 4th my weight was at 275.6 this morning I reached 50 lbs give since the start of my liquid diet. And 33 lbs gone in the six weeks and two days since surgery. It feels amazing! IMG_20171127_085628_501.jpg

I'm excited. Started at 361 on the 17th. Started my liquid diet on the 20th and as of this morning I'm 353. It's only 8 lbs but I've never dropped 8 lbs in one week and I have another week to go. My surgery is 12/4

That's so awesome! Great job! And believe me... I know what you mean. I would try so hard every month only to lose 3 lbs and now I'm 50 lbs down.
Keep me posted after your surgery. I'd love to keep in touch with your progress :)

Thank you. That's so encouraging. I'm trying to make all my preparations. How much did you rely on Protein Shakes? I don't eat meat and usually am 100% vegan but I've made concessions for the liquid diet. I was thinking for the first four weeks continuing the 2 shakes and a meal plan

My surgeon wants me to have two 4oz Protein Shakes every day. Plus 64oz of liquid (water) and per my surgeons meal plan I should be on mushy foods however I still can't hold down anything more than Soup. So I've been doing my Protein shakes and 1/2 a cup of soup twice a day. I miss the taste of food but I know it's all worth it

      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. 🤞
