Hello everyone!

I am in the process of getting approved for my weight loss surgery (sleeve). I am beyond excited to start this journey and become a healthier me but I am also nervous to start this process. Can anyone provide me some awesome tips or warnings?

I appreciate all of you!

Congratulations! Wishing you well with your upcoming surgery & weight loss.

I am still pre-op, so there are others that can be more helpful, but reading the posts from people who have gone through surgery has been helpful for me. This site is a great resource, people on here are very helpful with sharing their experiences.

I also like watching YouTube videos from people who have had the surgery (search VSG). There are many of them with all different topics (what they ate, what they brought to hospital, etc.)

Here are a few different examples of YouTube posts. Each of them has multiple videos on various topics. There are lots of other personalities out there that you may find helpful.

best advise i have is do the head work as well as the body you will loose weight no doubt your mind will not keep up with the body that was my biggest struggle seek people who have been through the process for advise and support and listen to you body and doctors

Hi Angelic!
I'm new to program too. All I can tell you is check handbook and talk to your nutritionist about any concerns. I start doing some of the things post opt things in the handbook like measuring, drinking liquids, and writing down my questions to consult with my dietian.
Good luck!
