Hello from North Dakota! I am 2 weeks post op and feeling great. I didnt know what to expect as i kind of kept it a secret that I was doing it except with my family and close friends. I deal with Fibromyagia and have tried so many diets that have just failed so it was nice to see in the 2 weeks that I am down 14lbs already. Im excited to talk to others and reading forums in here have helped me already. Like learning about the gas pains after and yes Gas X is a life saver!!! I look forward to talking to others in the journey and couraging those that need it... Have a wonderful and blessed day!

WELCOME

happy to have you join the group. I have learned so much by reading posts from this forum. I try to stay away from the negative nelly's. I listen to my doc and nutrition experts. I don't do "it" perfectly everyday but, the changes have been so phenomenal, I feel different, I look different. I think for the 1st time I will make it this time.

I have worked really hard on some demons that always pulled me back into the world of hatred - self hatred. I am worth all this work, I am worthwhile. I have things to contribute to the world. Believe it yourself, you will have success too!

Ask lots of questions, it will make such a difference!

Thanks everyone for the posts! N I have no clue but fatnfluffy popped in my head... Gabriel Inglasis(spelled wrong lol) is one of my fav comedians and his famous saying is Im not fat im fluffy. I have always had a positve attitude of my weight. But when my fibro got bad i knew it was time to change. My dr said that those who join these groups and go back for routine checks are the ones that succeed the most and i have learned lots by reading and then just finally joined so i look forward to chatting and reading and learning lots!

        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.

      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
