Good for you to be in charge! :) I had 5cc put in at surgery and another 2cc with my first fill. I wish that I didn't feel like eating for two weeks haha I've been hungry since day 3 :)

Creekwood...I didn't even recognize you in your new picture! Keep up the good work!

That stinks that it took them a few pokes. We're you laying down? Do they offer it under fluoro? Glad they got it taken care of :) feeling feel is great' date=' unfortunately my hunger had come back :([/quote']

I was laying down. The doctor mentioned flouro but hadn't used it in years he said. They were excellent and once they got it he drew a pic on my chart so they'll find it now.

I started walking last week, but my knees are killing me (I've never had trouble with my knees before). I decided to join a gym today so I could use the elliptical instead of walking. It kicked my a**!! Anyone else having trouble with exercising again? It's such an important part in weight loss, but it sucks that it can hurt.

Drehn I also had challenges starting to exercise again. I went walking a few times and then started jogging very slowly. I have always had knee problems and they are continuing. I suggest walking on a treadmill or outside. I've heard setting the treadmill to a slight incline will get your heart pumping well. While the elliptical is gentler on your knees it is not an easy exercise :-). Good Luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
