Yes we are all on the same boat.. But each day is getting better and we will be enjoying dinner with our family again very soon! Yesterday i forced myself to sit at the table with my family while i had chicken broth and they had chicken stir fry... It was hard but no one said it was going to be easy... The weight that is coming off so quickly is worth waiting My 4 yr old daughter was with me when i went to stock up on baby food and she asked me if it was for Logan(4month old) i explained as clearly as a 4yr old couuld understand of course,that it was for mama..we get at the cash and she starts saying to the cashier that the baby food is for her mama and the cashier(and others in line) laugh and say "oh u silly girl" she responds" mama tell them its true its for u right" lol i just laughed and was like "yes of course babe!" ;) annie is ur little one sleeping through the night??

Weird but my doc said that I could have Protein Shakes and smoothies since surgery. Weird how all docs are different. Today was my first day on mushies! Sounds kinda sad to say but the KFC instant mashed potatoes that I had were like heaven! Do any of you still have gas pain in your left shoulder? I still do.

I've had cotton mouth too lately and I've been drinking a ton! I feel back to normal for the most part. I still have a ton of pain in my left shoulder and I can feel large knots. I have been able to move to fish and very well cooked veggies. So far, so good. It's great that people are starting to comment on how I look like I've lost a lot of weight. How are all of you doing? Able to enjoy your family once again?

      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
