Banded 6/25/12. I feel back to myself the last couple days. Walking, still on Protein Shakes, logging on my fitness pal etc. I've lost 8 lbs since surgery. I am hungry! We can do this June ...

Well hello junies!!!

All of us have made it through the gate, now to the race...

I was thrilled to get home from Toronto - I must say the 4 hour flight home squashed into a tiny seat with gas pain left a lot to be desired, but I was so anxious to get home to my baby I didn't care too much.

This morning I went for a nice long walk with the old dog and managed pretty well.

As of yesterday I've lost 31 pounds since the pre-op diet start, 5 of those since last Wednesday's surgery.

Question - Even though I sip my Water slowly I find it gives me some chest pain, is that normal for the week post-op?

Dear Thighhigh

I too get that feeling in my chest/diaphragm if I take too much at once. Hang in there. My surgery was 6/26 and today is the first day I felt pretty decent overall!

Yeah I figured if this community was going to be one I would be sharing time, struggles, ideas, motivation, perceptions, and many other thoughts and emotions with, it would be a good idea to grab a head start.

Thus far, I'm really enjoying the positive and accepting attitude in here. Glad to have become part of this.

PS Go ahead and cry, you've earned it! As I just posted day 4 was my worst too (left shoulder pain that caused nausea) I did finally lie down, cry, fall asleep and woke up feeling better. :blink:

My tear day was day 3. I agree with everyone that we all have one of those days. Now that I'm on day 17, I feel fantastic, so it DEFINITELY gets better.

Sent from my Evo.

Happy pre 4th of July fellow USA Junies! Hope today finds all of you feeling spectacular and stronger every moment! I'm celebrating one week today since surgery and truly feel good this morning. Here in New England our summer's are short so we take advantage of beautiful days like today whenever we can. Went for a walk, had Breakfast on the back deck and played "Rummikub" with my husband, while basking in the sunshine. I feel blessed to have the support of my husband of more than 33 years, as well as all of you. I love US history which I teach as a 5th grade teacher. I love occasions that pull us all together such as celebrating our Nation's birthday! Also, a special "Hello" to our Canadian neighbors in the June Bandsters group, as well as others living across the Globe in our support group!

      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
