I really need to add the meeting dates to my calendar or something. I keep forgetting! I have every intention of going and then it hits me that I missed it, AGAIN.

Yup, 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. 6pm - 7:30 pm. It's always so much more fun to go when you know people! I hope to see more of you there. :)

Howdy. Wow I'm loving my sleeve. Although there are certain things I just can't stand to even eat anymore. eggs, spanish rice or any rice, hot dogs, soft bread, to name a few. Foods that I love now that I didn't before are asparagus, white fish, Soups.< /p>

I'm 2 lbs away from being in the "overweight" category. I will be saying bye bye to obese forever. I was happy when I said bye bye to morbidly obese. Now it's OBESE's turn to buzz off.

I have found a new love. Actually two new loves. ZUMBA and TURBO FIRE. I have lost 18.75 inches since surgery. Amazing. 5 inches in each of my chest, hips, and waist. unbelievable!!!

One day when I had the sharp stomach pains (during the flu bug thing that I had) I almost panicked and felt almost claustrophobic about my little stomach. it was a weird panic but it subsided. That has been the only time I felt strange about my sleeve. Other than that instance, I love my sleeve.

How's everyone else doing?

Aloha, Lisa

Its great to hear that you are doing awesome and lovin your sleeve! I am 2 pounds away from having lost 100 pounds total. That makes me so happy! I am a little over 3 months out. I am able to eat most foods. Though rice is difficult for me as well. My hair is thinning big time. Though I should at least be glad that I started with a lot of hair. I have not been taking my Vitamins like I should be, so maybe that is why my hair is thinning more! My labs cae back well though from my 3 months. I did not go to my 3 month appt because I coulddnt get off work. Oh well.

I'm 9 lbs away from onderland, and people are starting to notice. It makes me a little uncomfortable at work when people comment on it, but I just say thanks. I guess i never really thought about that part, lol.

Hi everyone...is anyone going to be at the 4/14 6 month check meeting at SSF? I have been happy with my weight loss (just recently hit a "normal" BMI), but not so consistent with my supplements so this is probably what I need to motivate me into action.

Hi Cherice,

Congratulations on hitting "normal" BMI status. That is a major accomplishment, for sure and to do it in less than six months--wow! I'm only three months out and I have my follow up with Dr. Le on April 28. Do they do the six month follow up as a group or is that one on one with a doctor?

Thanks David...from what I understand the 6 months is more of a group setting. You meet with a NP and a NUT and then there is a class component. I'll tell you more about it next week.

      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.
