So what you are saying is, get in all the calories that I am suppose to and the weight will come off? I gotta try something because I don't go to the doctor until next week and I want to be able to go in with extra weight loss.

How many calories a day are you eating right now?

If I am lucky, I am getting in about 825 calories. How many calories should I be trying to get in?

I aim for 900 a day. That seems to work perfectly for me. For right now the only exercise I get is chasing after my 3 kids but I plan to get back on the treadmill next week when school starts.

Now that I'm on mushies, I am also getting in about 900 calories. I have lost about 7 lbs since surgery last wednesday but seem to be holding at that.

Im home and Banded!!!

Went in tuesday at 10:00am and my Dr assisted with another surgery ...emergency, so was late with me. 4:00 went in about . I was supposably in recovery by 5:00pm ish . Overall was a good xperience. I walked, walked , and walked some more in the hospital. No gas pain ths time ...ThankGod!!!!!

Apparently my surgeon is top notch , i overheard by another patient that he was flown to indonesia by the king and operated on a prince . I guess i picked someone 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.

      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.
