Thanks for sharing everyone.I haven't had a fill yet & I'm not sure if I want one. Although I would love to lose quickly I know it's not the best way. I also don't ever want to have food stuck.i think I'll only get a little fill & go from there. You make a good point to let your body do the work. Even though we all want it now. I'm encouraged to keep moving even if it's only 1 pound a week. Keep up the good work everyone.

My husband and his huge family are from Michigan, so we are headed up to the North Western part - Traverse City area (pinkie finger area). I've never been to Michigan so am so excited! Where is your cruise going? I love cruising!

You are doing great! Better to lose slow than not at all. Besides it gives your body time to keep up with your progress. Most of the time when people lose too fast it comes back fast because of poor eating habits. I'm taking this time to learn and live my new healthy lifestyle. I'm glad you are doing well keep it up!

I will be post op 3 weeks on Tuesday June 26th. Down 14 lbs........have no restriction and possible fill on July 5th. had daughters bday yesterday and ate cake........felt awful after. Im going back on Protein Shakes tomorrow and starting my exercise tonight! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. I also had hernia repair same day, so that has restricted my eating as well. Hope to keep loosing but knowing there is no restriction is the devil, bc I know I can eat more............................

it is hard but this time will go quickly enough. i didnt do anything in particular to help me though, just that i had some hot cups of bonox, which is a strong beef drink we can buy here in australia. that helped to ease the hunger a bit.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
