How is everyone doing so far? I'm ok it's been 2 months and I am still adjusting, had my second fill about 3 weeks ago and I am still getting daily stuck problems, I really need to learn to slow down and chew, really struggling. I have to spit up overflow at every meal just about. It's not a forced spit-up but the stuff that feels stuck in my lower throat. But I feel great other than that- weighed last night made it to 199- whoohooo super excited .

I'm feeling great! Fighting the battle of emotional eating now. My old habits want to resurface so I working really hard not to eat out of boredom! I've lost 25 lbs and battle 3 lbs up and down every week but I have to remind myself that 25 lbs in two months is still great progress. I go to Curves 3x a week for workouts and to Zumba 2x a week, so that's major progress for me towards a healthier life! My clothes are getting bigger now, so I have to stop focusing on the scales and continue doing what I'm doing. I had my first fill and it had helped with the hunger level, my food now keeps me satisfied for about 4 hours . My Portion Control is still all me though and I can pretty much eat what I want so I am really having to boost up my self control. I won't be getting another fill until December.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
