I go to da gym 4 days a wk. I think my job has something to do with it because it's more of a physical job so that has something to do wit it as well. Oh yea I still don't eat bread, Pasta, candy nor do I drank sodas.

Hey u look great we look about the same in weight lost . I was 240 n now I'm 163 . It has a lot to do with not eating all those foods. I was sleeved on 1-8-13 so it's been really good . I wish everyone well . Doing this has changed me so much I actually feel like I dropped off the person I was carrying . That's such a load off.

I am back. Was not able to get back on the sure for awhile. December 19,2013 will be my 4 month anniv. I am down 70 lbs and is just starting to feel fabulous. Went from size 20 down to 12. This life change has run me for a loop still not eating as much. How great is this. For the holidays I did not eat like there was no tomorrow. food was not an issue for me. I am learning to walk away. Started at 255 and now I am down to 185.

Hi,

I'm an A A sleever in NY. I had my sleeve sep. 27,2013. Started wl journey at 260 lbs, was at 240 before my sleeve at last docs apptmnt was 202 lbs. I have had some set backs, I've been to er 3 times for dehydration. Hospitalized once for severity, will be having hiatus hernia repair in Jan. My surgeon thinks it's interfering with sleeve. I still don't get enuf liquids or Protein, food down <sigh> ...still I have no regrets, I feel a little weak but better than I have in years. I just pulled my bullet back out and Isopure vanilla. I maid a smoothie like the ones I used to make when I started clean eating, kale, spinach, blueberries, and strawberries, Hershey unsweetened dark cocoa, a little instant folgers, 8 oz soy milk all in bullet...32 grms.. of protein and went down ok. Bottom line is even with the little fight I enjoyed it, so repeat.....A few of my scars did keloid, I started with a flap of skin because of 2 c - sections and an ectopic. Let's not talk breast, I started in the itty bitty titty comittee so not really concerned. Oh I'm 47 yrs old, and I'm deemed disabled because of my commodities. So I don't really have hope for plastic surgery. :( Idc I will be healthier, and hopefully live longer. So I say All this to say I'm thankful for the journey, as for the unpleasantness this too shall pass.....so hallelujah any how!!!

You need to move to Shreveport ill get u on the right track

So, I'm a little nervous! I feel like I am getting a side throat and my survey is on Tuesday. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding any remedies I can take to resolve this ordeal. I refuse to let anything stand in my way and my destiny for this procedure to occur on Tuesday.

      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.
