Hi everyone~

Love to hear about all of the great progress being made and all the different things that each of us are trying. I am 3 weeks post op and doing very well. I had my first post op last week and things were looking great. My doctor allowed me to go ahead and start pureed foods...HOWEVER I have mental block with pureeing meat. Sooooo...I eat real foods and just chew it to death..LOL For the most part I am doing great with it. I am still getting used to taking tiny bites. Apparently i used to shovel in my food by the plate full so what I think is a tiny bite is not so tiny. I am getting better everyday with it. My weight loss is steady and I get excited each day when I step on the scale and see it going down. I have had a couple of days where it has went up and it infuriated me. NO WAY will I accept the scale going up!! So I just walk extra and it goes back down. As far as excercising goes all I am doing is walking. I am so ready to go to the gym or something more. I want to work on my abs but not yet....dr says NO!

How is everyones port feeling? That is the only place I still have discomfort. I am not sure how long that is susposed to last but my port is right at my waist band in the bend of my waist. I only notice it if I bend over and stand back up or if my clothes push into that area. I hope with time that that will go away. I wonder how it will be when I don't have as much cushion around it..lol

Well, thats all for today. I will check back in soon

Hi, Amymom2! You are down nearly 29 lbs?!?!?! Congratulations. That is awesome. How are you feeling? I think we had surgery at about the same time (mine was Oct 11th).

Yes...I cant believe how fast it is coming off at this point. My doctor say that will slow up soon. I am trying to walk alot and that seems to be the difference maker. How are you feeling? How is your port sight?

Looks like you're doing really well! I lost quickly too. It's pretty exciting! I think your port pain should subside soon. That was the last thing that hurt for me too. I don't even notice it at all now except I can feel it under my skin.

Great Start! I am a little over a week out and had my 1 week follow up this morning. My incision site looked good and I'm down 23 pounds! I also get to start full liquids, and am ready for this week to fly by so I can get my hands on some real food. Even if it is all mushie! I still feel like someone punched me in the stomach, but every day it gets better. I've finally gotten rid of all the gas pain, and just have a lingering cough that I can't wait to be gone!

      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.
