Is it just me or does anyone else feel a little emotional at times? I’m so happy for this opportunity - it can feel surreal and overwhelming in a pleasant way at times x

For real for real I'm really nervous because my liquid diet starts tomorrow and that's what I'm so afraid of but I have everything that I need and I just pray to God that I can stick with it for 2 weeks

My surgery date is scheduled for June 21st. My doctor requires a 4 week, all liquid diet before surgery. I started today but am worried I’m gonna fail.

Hi Lolavolcan, I'm in Utah too. I haven't been assigned a diet yet. My pre-surgery appointment is June 9 and that's when I start all liquids then my surgery is just 5 days later. There is such a huge variation of requirements. I'm almost concerned that I haven't been given more prep diet time. I need to do some research! eek!

That's how I was actually feeling my last appointment before my surgery is on June 7th 6 days before my surgery when are they going to tell me to start my liquid diet so go for it yourself count out them 14 days and do it yourself that's what I'm doing this is why mines is going to start tomorrow because they didn't give me a date to start I'm just starting it on my own

      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.
