Well last Wednesday I got a tweak...from 3.0 to 3.25 cc's...thought it would loosen up after I got my period and boy was I wrong...for the past week I was miserable...struggled to get anything solid down and was even having problems with liquids...

Wednesday made the five hour round trip for an unfill...back to 3.0 and let me tell you what a difference it made...I feel like a new person...

Moral of the story...if you think your too tight you probably are and there is no reason to struggle...yes...I lost 7.5 lbs in a week...maybe if I kept that fill I'd be down to goal by the end of the month...but not the healthy way and not the comfortable way...

OH...and the other thing is I dropped a load of money at banana Republic on two pairs of size 16 pants! YIPPEE!

Jennye, that's awesome! 16 sounds like such a "normal" size!!

Good for you and your "band sense". Sounds like you are really in touch with reality! You'll continue to do really well!

Jennye, I'm so glad you decided to have the unfill rather than continue struggling. You definitely don't want to have any problems when you're so close to goal (nor at any other time, obviously), so good for you for making that choice!! :banana

Take care of yourself, girlie!!

Thanks for letting us know whats going on.... You know I've been watching your journey as well as may others and we're concerned.

I'm glad your not struggling with a big fill.

Congrats on getting into size 16's! Don't buy too many new clothes. Before you know they'll be too big. Mark my words....3 monthes ago I was in 16's and last week I got 2 pairs of stretch 12 Lee Capris(tight but fit)....I believe the body compacts.

It seem like alot of us get platues, 2 weeks not 1 lb down then boom 3 lbs down in 2 days. Even every day is different. Last week I had ribs, last night they wouldn't go down. Slow but steady is going to be my motto.

Go out and strut them pants:D

      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. 🤞
