One year today



Recommended Posts

Today was my day one year ago. It doesn't seem like that long. I have lost 90 lbs and have I still have 40 more that I wanna loose. I have learned so much in a year. The most important is Portion Control. Its amazing how much I would eat before and how little you truely need. I would do the surgery again in a heart beat. I still have a long road ahead of me it feels like to get where I really wanna be but I will get there. I have to remember my doctor told me that this is a life long journey not soemthing that you fix over night or in just a year. My goal is to hit one hundred lbs loss by the end of January and I can do it!!

DaCoop, I went to a Xmas brunch Sunday and of course, there was tons of food of all kinds. It was amazing how much food people piled on their plates, but the most amazing thing was the bite sizes. OMG, I saw forks full of food that would have stuck me up for two days I'm sure. I look at the size of each bite I take now and I'm amazed at how well I've adapted, but disappointed it took me so long to figure it out.LOL

Merry Christmas

Congrats!!! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Had my pre-op Friday and I was a little taken back that I was told I couldn't eat anything but Clear Liquids on Christmas Day!!! Were you told the same?? I was expecting nothing after midnight. I don't think I would of scheduled it for the day after Christmas if that was told to me at time of scheduling. I plan on calling the office on Monday because when I called Friday they were already closed. The nurse at pre surgical office couldn't tell me why so I'm a little confused. If you have any insight I'd appreciate it. Btw I can't wait to be where you are now. I bet you feel fantastic.

      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
