Hi everyone, so my gastric bypass is on Tuesday 23rd April. I’m so nervous about the op but still excited. I just can’t wait to get the journey going. I’m on the 2 wk liver diet which started really bad but with only a few days to go I’ve found the will to go on.

Good luck with all those who have ops coming up this week. Stay strong and think of the future you.

Good luck! I’m having bypass on the 24th. Now that it’s so close I’m just so eager to get thru the next few days. liquid diet is not so bad for me now. But still struggling to get all the Water in. Really going to focus on that this weekend.

Tomorrow is the big day for me. I will be so glad when it is finally over. I pray that all of you who are about to have your surgery that all will go well and a speedy recovery for you all. I pray that all those who just had the surgery will have a speedy recovery as well. :)

Wow, I haven’t posted in a bit. I hope everyone is doing well.

I’ve had a lot of thoughtful considerations since my last post. Some of them upsetting and really questioning. However I’ll post more about it after I’ve been for a walk. My first walk in a very long time. I’m sweating before I’ve even started, which gets me feeling negatively towards myself. But f&$k it, I’m going for a short walk and I’ll survive. Its confronting how unfit I am.

I really hope all April sleevers pre and post op are doing ok. Big hugs to anyone in pain or scared.

I also know this is the right thing I’ve chosen to do. It’s only the beginning and I will improve physically, mentally and emotionally. Today is one day I have to make choices towards my goals. And I’ll need to write some down later so I know what I’m achieving even when it isn’t weight loss.

Much love.

      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.
