OMG was that your choice?

No…this is what my surgeon requires based on my BMI.

26 more days to go!!! I’m starting to freak out about doing the liquid diet after right. Lol

Yes! Same. I’ve been already cutting out foods and starting to prepare myself mentally for this. I don’t think anyone can fully prepare until it’s right on you.

You are absolutely right the only thing about this is that liquid diet thing. Can I handle this for 2 weeks prior to surgery that's why I'm getting started, but yeah I've cut out a whole heck of a lot of things preparing for this, breads, pastas none of that I eat, not even soda, and then dealing with it after surgery I wish I can stay in the hospital for a week after surgery at least that way I know things will be done right

Thank you all so much for your posts - I don't feel so alone on this journey. I'm sure the pre-op diet will be challenging but right now, I feel like a warrior and I'm going to fight hard! I'm ready to reclaim my life back - lets Gooooooo!

      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. 🤞
