Very embarrassing ... let's just say I was ah hem ... "wrestling" with my husband. I must have turned the wrong way or something and tore the cartilage between my upper ribs on my left side. :001_cool: But on a positive note, if you are gonna get hurt - what a way to do it! :confused1:

I'm in a rib brace right now. The pain is tolerable, but I'm limited in motion while it heals. Hopefully next week things will be healed enough that I can do the treadmill flat & then start progressing to inclines.

Too much TMI?

LOVE IT!!! :lol0:

ok..well I don't love that your'e hurt....but I love how you did it...hehehe

Ohhh, haha, ok! I thought maybe it had something to do with the surgery, so I was a bit concerned for a minute, as I was planning to start running in about a month. I was like, "Woah, I have to wait 7 months!?:blink:" LOL. Best wishes on your recovery....:)

No ... but be careful ... there definitely seems to be a correlation between the scales going down and more "wrestling" happening at our house! :)

Well done Mini Me - Its lovely to read as we're about the same, I was touch heavier than you, and you're a bit taller than me, but its nice to know I could be almost at goal (( I am aiming for 140lbs to start with) in a few months time.

Can I ask have you upped your calorie /food intake at all, and how much you are losing at the moment? I seem to have stabilized after a fairly quick start then some weeks of hardly anything going to lose about 1-2lbs a week at the moment, but think it may slow down nearer to 'goal'.

My calories are between 1000 and 1200. Last month I only lost 4 pounds so. It has really slowed down for me. But that makes sense since my calorie deficit has dropped. I have definitely noticed the body changes in the past 6 or so weeks - sides curving in more and hips slimming down. I still have areas that still have fat on them so that is why I am considering losing a little bit more. If it takes the rest of this year, I am ok with that. Slow and steady feels right at this stage.

Hope that helps.

WTG. You have been so committed, you deserve this. I can't imagine being so close to goal. You must be ecstatic . Best of luck on kicking those last few pounds to the curb. You have been such an encouragement to me, thanks.

Ok the rib thing sounds painful!!!!! But definitely more enjoyable than when I fractured mine. Fell over in the family's RV when someone pulled out in front of my dad on the highway... hit my ribs on the countertop as I went down. Ouch!

Congrats on all of your success. Size 8 is awesome. I am 5'5" with a goal weight of 160 and I think that will be a size 8-10 and that's where I want to be!

Much love :)

Yes, Dr. Umbach did my sleeve on 1/27/10 as outpatient. He is a great surgeon & you will like him a lot. He really made me feel comfortable with my decision and very confident in his skills.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any specific questions.

OMG I thought I was the only one to ever sustain an injury from that sort of thing. My hubby gave me a hairline fracture in my vertebrae about 3 years ago...I had to have some major manipulation and some healing time.

Once healed he still finds it a weird badge of honor...that he broke me. ::rolls eyes:::cursing:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
