Hi everyone! This is my first time here. I decided to check it out after LngRedRose posted about it over at OH. Hi girl, how are you feeling these days??

I'm always up for meeting new sleevesters. And I'm always willing to answer questions if anyone wants some imput from someone almost a year out.

Hi Pamela!

Love your blog! I'm 4 weeks out and came here after seeing it on OH as well.

I love to cook even when I can't eat! So I'll be trying out your recipes!

Anita

I went to Dr Hargroder in Baton Rouge, LA. I was looking for someone in driving distance who had lots of experience with the sleeve and he fit the bill. Also, I was self pay and his fees were within reason.

Well, kind of. It's supposed to link to whatever story is showing, but it just links the front page.

Not sure who this was addressed to, but I'm 7 weeks out now. I have heard that 3 weeks is a common time to stall because we are adding mushies and more solid food.

For me I had one stall at 4 weeks, but it coincided with a week's vacation and I did not drink my Water, get my Protein, and I just grazed all day long that week. That is the only week that I did not lose weight.

What I do now is I eat 3 meals a day plus 2 Protein drinks (as per my surgeon's instructions). My meals are low carb, I eat Protein first, then veggies. The first 6 months are the best time to lose the most weight, so to me it is worth it to concentrate on changing my habits and not eating the foods that made me fat in the first place.

Just my 2 cents!

Thanks for the advise, I think that is a good diet and I should be on it too. I think since it was 3 weeks yesterday and I had not had solid food for over a month I just went crazy eating even when I was not hungry just for the taste. I have to get over it and move on. I was glad to hear that it is common to stall at 3 or 4 weeks. I was very worried. thanks Judy

      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.
