Congratulations! And don't worry about the scale too much this early in the game. It doesn't always show a weight loss that soon. Besides, you should Celebrate regardless because you are on an awesome journey to better health now!!

Well I lost 13.6 pounds the first week so I celebrated with take out wonton Soup, sans wonton. It was delish! Last night I went to fashion show (it's Swim Miami here this weekend) and got excited about possible suits next season. Hard because everyone was drinking and eating and I was sipping Water. But tonight better, went for Pho and was so happy. How is everyone doing?

Thanks guys... it's been a pretty interesting journey so far. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I havent been sleeved yet but I have been approved and my surgery date is on Sept 10th. Im pretty excited and nervous all at the same time. I am stoked to find a LGBT section to spend some time in. I've been in the mens forum and all they ever want to talk about is their weiners, which dont get me wrong I am okay with but honestly I think those guys are just baiting the horny women that lurk in the mens section (which I find a little passive agreesive/creepy) but to each their own. lol

      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.
