Problem-Need Advice ASAP



Recommended Posts

Awaiting scheduling on the endo this week. After the slight Fluid removal (unfill) Last thursday I am still bloated under my breast area. I dont know why....

I saw a 2 lb weight reduction over the weekend which make me feel hopeful but I often see a fluctuation around 2-3 lbs but seem like the SAME darn pounds! I researched a new doctor to specializes in both band and sleeve maybe I will just see someone new an keep the band. I was always good at shedding 20 lbs on fad diets ' date='weightloss pills , etc... But I went to the band for more of a lifestyle change with significant results And 20 lbs off the 1st (2 months) and the following 20lbs took 8 months to come off. I know my lifestyle has changed and I'm following the rules. So much so I can't eat with out my mouth filling with slime or getting stuck.[/quote']

I hope u find answers but I sure can relate. Yesterday everything I put in my mouth came back up. I don't know how to figure out which foods or when it will do that. It might take me quite awhile it seems. But the lbs for me go between 2-3lbs same ones too. But not eating but one or two times a day should break me free if I really start exercising. I hope u figure out what's going on and get it straightened out.

I exercise, I focus on Protein and I am not a snacker! I don't make a lot of money and as a single Mom who comes from obesity in my family I don't keep the chips, sodas,or easy to grab Snacks in the home. So I can force myself to prepare and cook! Nor can I afford to splurge. If we eat out we share a plate and I am trying to teach her about the choices I am making and why. She is 11 yrs old. Im 5'1 she is 4'11 & she weighs 140. Thats what I weighed when I got pregnant with her. Mind you my daughter looks 13 and has the mature body of a woman...she is just like Me! I've never been able to give her a sibling due to PCOS (infertility) and my obesity. I'll be damned if all I have invested is wasted! I am hoping that I am not the F&@ing 2% failure rate I learned about in the meetings!!!!

@ Donna, Thanks Doll, I hope so too :) I am very passionate about this and my goals. I don't want to be seen as a quitter looking for easy way out. Everyone is so kind and encouraging I value that!!

      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. 🤞
