Thanks, guys!

Diane - yes, the fill is too tight. I'm going in tomorrow morning for a slight unfill. It kicked in yesterday and - wow! I'm doing my best to hydrate myself rather than focusing on Protein.

Good luck to everyone!!! :)

I went in this morning to get a slight unflll - .3cc - and now feel 100% better. Chris (the nurse practitioner) pulled out .2cc then had me drink some Water. It still hurt a little (golfball feeling) and I was so thirsty so stuck the needle in, took all of the fill out, then had me drink the 16oz. bottle of Water that I had with me. Then, she pushed it all back in, had me drink a little more water, which was still a little uncomfortable. So, after all was said and done, she took out another .1cc, which brings me to .1cc less than what I had in there last Tuesday. That's ok though because I'm probably a bit swollen from the 4 PB's I've had in the past 3 days...ugh! She told me that to give it a few days and if I felt I needed to have that .1cc put back in to call her and she'll accommodate me.

Thanks, bandayed. I'm very fortunate to have a very accommodating nurse practitioner. And, thankfully, my fills are covered for an entire year after surgery.

Good luck to getting to onederland very soon!! You definitely deserve it. *hugs*

P.S. The scale said 197 this morning, but I attribute that to not really eating much the past 3 days.

You guys are kicking a@@!! I'm so proud of everybody. I have to apologize - I started this challenge and then disappeared. I'm doing so badly that I've gone into denial. Needless to say, Onederland is a bit far off for me now. But enough of my pity party - I get a fill next week and all will be right with the world. Great job everyone! ;)

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
