Glad to hear you're doing well! Walking around the house and outside when you're ready is the best thing for the gas pains.

Hello,

I am happy to see most were reporting losses this week. For those who gained or stayed the same I suggest you keep doing the things we know we should all be doing. Protein, Water, exercise, no sliders, limit empty calories. Is your band keeping you in the green zone? Do you need an appointment with your surgeon? Sometimes after a week with a good loss we may not lose for a bit after that, like a week or two.

What other suggestions do people have for those who are not losing at this time?

We are having a great time in San Francisco. I have been walking A LOT and doing well with my food choices. I think this may be the first vacation I have ever been on where I won't gain weight, lol!

TTYL, Joan

      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.
