School is tricky. I would just eat a lot of trail mix. hahaha It doesn't need to be cold and for the most part it doesn't melt and it has an ok amount of Protein. It also has a lot of sugar but oh well it was the best I could think of. hahaha I'm lucky that my school has a nice cafeteria with some really healthy options.

Hi, I am a junior at UHD in Houston, TX majoring in Finance and minoring in Accounting. I am 29 (guess this is my last year in this thread) and am getting banded on Monday, Sept. 14. I must say that due to working full time and going to school full time my pre-op diet has been extremely easy!! Looking forward to see how everyone is progressing. Congrats to all.

I am 25 and still working on my bachelor's at GVSU in Michigan, and it is definately hard to find healthy things to eat on campus, but I do my best. And it is hard to exactly know how healthy it is, etc. But I try. It definately is harder than I thought, but I find it easier not to snack while I am at school. And harder at home at night to not snack.....

      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. 🤞
