Day 9 and 11.6 pounds down!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well, I said I was not going to weigh myself until I returned to work on Monday the 24th of May. I was getting cabin fever and needed to just come in to the office and get some things done so I came in and of course the scale in our gym was taunting me so I went and weighed myself, reluctantly because my size 14 work pants do not feel much different today as they did about 2 weeks ago when I wore them pre-op.

Was not expecting to see the numbers on the scale this morning at all!!! Wow! So I know it will slow down and I need to continue to remind myself of that but dang, what a wonderful start to my journey.

I am proud of myself, raising three kids on my own and having to cook every meal for them while I do not even lick a finger is tough but this confirms for me that I am doing the right thing and this is all well worth it!

WHOOP!!!! (hey I am a Texas Aggie, gotta give a Whoop!!!)

Thanks for all of the support and encouragement I have found here. VST is my new addiction...:thumbup1:

Very exciting! Kudos for cooking for the kids too, my youngest is 18 and she thinks I am trying to starve her to death!

Thanks everyone! Well, the carbs are really scaring me. Dr A says 60 grams of carbs a day. I am not sure how to get all the calories in without going over carbs. Today was a very full day, hard to get enough Protein without cars unless I drink all Protein Shakes with low carbs and nothing else.

Hard to get excited about all of things things I can eat when eating all of these things will put me way over on carbs!!!

      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.
