i left work early last night; the most severe heartburn. i do believe it was heartburn. i drove straight to rite aid, got some rolaids softchews (advertising does work) was gonna go straight home and turn my heat pad on... then i see the chinese restaurant right in front of me. egg flower Soup. where did i read that? <smile> somewhere on this site im sure. in pain, tired, hurting... but i trudged in, ordered a bowl of egg drop soup to go. i get home... wow. a bowl of soup is a quart. damn. i pour some into a cup, go to my bedroom and my blessed bed. ahhhhhhh.... i slowly sip my soup, chew the mushroom very well. its gone. it was good. i want more. heft myself up. another cup. uh. it definately wasnt pizza (7 days post op) but i definately was a quart. cup by cup. i slowly finished it. how guilty i feel today. and my scale says im 3lbs up. so much sodium im sure. my dr said this was not a weight loss time but a healing time. i have to keep reminding myself of that... but it was nice seeing the scale go down every morning. i was at like 12lbs down. if i drink my Water today... do you think those 3 go away again? -r

:) I have no problem with the thought of eating pizza....it's the crust that I have a problem with. So, it gets trashed and never comes close to my mouth at all!!! That is how I eat pizza...crustless!!!

Sparkling- Take care of your band now in the most critical stage so that- God forbid- if something would go wrong in the future you know you did all you could to protect your band. Don't eat regular food until the doctor says you can.

Wyldvelia- A quart of egg drop Soup is not going to make you gain 3 pounds. You must chill. Think this way: until you get a fill, anything you lose is a miracle. So, if you gain a little back, it was probably just Water weight anyway.

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

        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
