I've been eating Soups and crackers, really not that hungry ... Lots of Water ... I haven't left the house ... My first trip out of the house will be to see my doctor .. Don't want to take any chances on getting an infection .. Or tripping ,,, I beleive the more I rest the better I will heal .. When I got up this morning feeling great ... Still walking in a hunching position ... My baby sister laughing at me ... I told everyone not to make me laugh .. Omg it hurts to laugh or cough .., I mean hurts ... So stay away from funny people !!

So yesterday I went for my follow up appointment with my dr ... They pulled off all my bandages ... He said everything is looking great .. I was a little overwhelmed with the cut across my flat belly .. Wow ... Did anyone else feel this way the first time this saw their cut ...

I didn't remove the silver sulfadiazine from my belly button for the picture ... Doctor orders to leave that stuff on 24/7 helps with the healing .. But it is really nasty stuff .. Gets everywhere ... And only god knows where my port is ?? Lol !!! I hope it's there .. I've been eating alot more !!!

Nah... It will heal...But I am overwhelmed that it looks as amazing as it does... It's like Tuesday moorning the extra skin was there and my boobs resembled those of an 80 year old woman and Tuesday afternoon the skin was gone and my boobs look like i am a young woman. It's pretty surreal to me

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
