Hi Cindie,

Don't feel bad, we are all human and the whole point of us being this much overweight is that we find it really hard to stick to diets. If we could stick to them we wouldn't be having surgery would we? Don't beat yourself up over it. Put it behind you and start again.

You don't want to blow it all now, focus on why you are doing this...because it is the start of a new life and a new beginning, the life you have always wanted, so you can do it. Avoid putting yourself in difficult situations if possible. Get back on track and keep think of the reasons why you are doing this and what life in the future will be like.:thumbup:

Good luck, remember next Wednesday is not too far off so keep up the good work that you have achieved so far!:laugh:

I agree, you'll probably be OK but it will be up to your doctor. Just stick to it from now and you'll be fine! Sometimes it's hard and I'm sure we'll all have good days and bad days but we just have to keep focussed on the outcome and we will get there!:thumbup:

I'm being banded on Sunday so I'm getting nervous now!:laugh:

Please don't beat yourself up over it. You messed up, learn from it and the worry it is causing you now, and move on. Finish your preop diet faithfully and you will probably be fine. No more cheating!:thumbup:

Many of us broke our pre-op diet on occasion. The two times I did, I didn't tell my surgeon, and it wasn't a problem. (of course, I have one of those laid back doctors who told me the day before surgery to go ahead and break it to have a nice "last meal").

The pre-op diet makes the surgery easier, but it is not a make or break deal if you do the best you can. Don't worry about it. You're good.

      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.
