Hi LB family. Well I have tried to update my ticker with the help of some of you, but I must have done something wrong when I created it an I can't get it so, here is my update. Two weeks before pre-op diet 229lbs. At start of pre-op diet 224lbs. Day of Surgery ( May 4th ) 220lbs. 5days post-op 215lbs. Today 9 days post-op 210lbs. that's 19lbs!!!!!! Also, being 9 days post-op I'm starting to feel great. Up to walking 15/20 min a day now. I want to thank everyone for all their support and suggestions in the past 3 weeks. Love to you all! :)

You will do it! Just keep up with the pre and post-op diets, I'm not going to lie to you it is hard but the payoff is worth it, and try to walk every day after surgery I started at 5 min and worked up to 15/20 a day. Godd luck and I wish you much success to you. Keep me posted!

Doreen you started where I am now. Mu surgery is May 31. hope my surgery has similar results. Way to go! Keep it up!

before i started the preop diet i weighed 253 and had my surgery in April and since then i have lost 31 pounds. I was able to fit into my favorite pants that i have not worn since before i got pregnant with my daughter. I still have a long way to go but I think i can do it.

AWESOME!!! That is really encouraging! I have my surgery in 11 days and so often we heard the problems on this forum (which is understandable-people looking for help and support) but it's so nice to hear something positive and encouraging! Please continue to keep us posted!:)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
