Were the same age as well I need a buddy because my family is not very supportive of my decision I chose the gastric sleeve as my option

I hear you.. I only started losing last month..my Dr wanted me to lose 10 lbs and through diet and exercise all I could lose for 3 months was 2 lbs then i finally started seeing an endocrinologist and got diagnosed w hashimotos.once he put me on synthroid for a few months the scales started to move i went from 270 to 248 where I am now..im hoping to lose more on this liquid diet I start sunday before surgery.. I know the struggle all to well.

We will both be in the same boat.. What are you using for your Protein source? I bought 3 different flavors of Isopure to try out.. So far i only like the natural one, someone suggested watering down some of the other flavors to make them more palatable.. I also was given the Unjury protein chicken broth..I love Soup this is doable having broth..

I love the Premier shakes abd drinks. I'm not too fond of the vanilla. I was given some Isopure today, so I'll try it Sunday. What other food to you plan to try because I can't stomach cottage cheese.< br>

      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. 🤞
