I send out prayers and blessings to you all. I am so so happy today. I am at 220.. I havent seen 220 in so long I just don't know what to do with myself.. I went back on partial Fluid diet because I had a hard time getting protien in at all. I took 4 bites and was ready to barf.. I went to the natural Health store (Sprouts) and bought my protien mix that is plant base called Raw Fit.. I get 28grams per scoop.. It taste awesome. and it don't give me the runs.. I also take Supergreens shakes twice a day.. This stuff is just awesome.. I have 3 total shakes a day that gives me 10-18 servings of fruits and vegs. plus all of my viatimins' date=' and Protein per day..Then I would have a half of a piece of meat about 2ounces for dinner..Thats all I can eat because I be so full.. Before I was at a stall till I started drinking greens. I love my meat so I won't be going 100% vegan no time soon, but they are on to something great because I have so much more energy,my skin looks great, I feel wonderful and the scale is moving again.. Thank Ya! I pray that this was a blessing to someone..[/quote']

I drink greens daily anyway been doing that a year now. It does give you the daily recommended fruit and vegetable serving. I think it's the only way I'm able to keep functioning!!! I will be sleeved Nov. 25........congrats and continued success!!

I am scheduled to be sleeved Wednesday 10/30. Of course I kept my sick niece on Tuesday of last week and caught her cold. I feel terrible right now, I can't take any medicine with acetaminophen in it either because pre-op you have to stop taking anything that will thin the blood. I found a medicine that has none but it's not strong like the other Med's. I am praying. Feel better by Wednesday would hate to feel like this and have surgery pain in recovery. No Pre-Op diet with my surgeon so I'm drinking lots of OJ, Hot Totties, and resting up. I am so excited about being sleeved I can barely contain myself...Lol! I'm getting micro braids on Monday so not to have to deal with my hair, not going to do any relaxers for at least 8 months if I can help it, I don't want to lose my hair.

It's the NSAIDs like aleve and ibuprofen that can contribute to blood issues.

Thanks for your response. Glad to hear from someone who started out near my weight and hear I will be successful after all with time. I decided 170 would be my goal. Are you at goal? How long did it take you to reach your current weight? What was your exercise routine?

My walk 3 days a week.....my goal was 155. But I'm overly comfortable where I am now. It took me five months.....

Well guys..in less than 12 hours I will be getting sleeved..I'm excited, nervous and a bit anxious. My surgery is a double procedure..I have to have a large mass removed as well so I have to have an incision at my bikini line,,a large one ta boot, so I think my nerves a little crazy because of that part. Oh well God has me so all will be fine. Guess I'll gulp down some more liquids before midnight. Goodnight guys!!!

      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. 🤞
