Hi BklynPenny! Honestly I feel great! Except yesterday my daughter tried to climb her way out of a shopping cart and I caught her so today I am a little sore. I really don't have any more pain just some soreness by my port. I started puréed food on Wednesday and so far so good. I only eat about a 1/2 cup of food once a day and they rest of the day I drink Protein shakes and Water. As of last week I was down 24lbs at my post op appt (including whatever I lost during pre op diet) I won't buy a scale cause I think I would obsessively weigh myself lol. How are you feeling? Have you started eating yet?

I live near SIUH. Where on the island does your sister live?

Shes about 15 min from the SI Mall. I dont like the Protein Shakes so I avoid them n try to eat my protein. Im feeling good too.. I get my first fill next week. Cant wait.. :)

      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.
