Day 9.... big mistake, for me, adding Protein to my serving of cream of wheat! ....trying a new food AND adding protein did not sit well.... Did not throw up, butter did upset my stomach...

So, rest of day i ate: sugar free pudding (snack), Protein Shake for lunch, then had devil chicken breast for dinner.... Yum! ... evening snack: unsweetened applesause .... nausea did not return.....

I wish all you mothers out there a "Happy Mothers Day" on Sunday.... Enjoy your children, your grandchildren and be proud of the road you are on... We are headed in the right direction to a healthier and happier life!

healing hugs to us all,

Sorry to hear that you had a rough day. I will keep that I mind not to mix together. Have a super Mother's Day. Keep up the good job. I try to look ahead not behind. I think there is something good in every day. Especially when I run late for work lol. I know the day has to get better. Enjoy Sunday Sandy.

Should get my insurance approval by this next Thursday. Then they will schedule my surgery. Think I might start my Liquid Protein diet on Monday, maybe that will speed up surgery schedule date

I'm 55 and nearly 4 months post op. I'm down 75 pounds today and three sizes of clothes. I'm almost ready for another new belt. The current one is on it's last notch (may have to punch another hole in it first). The skin is not sagging anywhere and it appears to be gradually shrinking back into place.

Thanks for the update missileer. I hope I will be able to say the same for my skin when I am 4 months out.

It's good to see so many people in their 50's join this thread.I'm happy that so many people are getting sleeved now.

I can't believe I celebrated my 3rd surgiversary already. I really can't believe I will be 60 this October. The sleeve has made me feel so much younger because I am so much more active now.

I guess I'll have to join the 60's thread in 6 months

Thank you kat1.... yes there is something good in everyday....

Day 11....(Mothers Day and my husband birthday)...

don't worry everyone i am sure i am going to stop "daily" posting some time soon, its just right now everyday is filled with newness...

brunch with friends.... First time at an "eating" gathering....they knew about my sleeve so it was adorable....she had it set up buffet style and every entree had a 1/4 cup portion already puree'd .... tears of friendship rolled down my face. My husband was pushing my wheelchair while i was deciding on food....i took puree chicken... Then the host removed all the puree'd portions and made me a to-go bag.....i am truly blessed....

So, i will close for now, hope everyone had a great Mothers Day. I know i had one i will never forget...

That was so sweet of your friend to do that for you! I remember so well what it was like

to socialize and worry about how it's going to be, eating with friends.

I am glad it went so well!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Wow Kat! What an awesome friend!!! So that's another plus on the board of WHO SHOULD I TELL??? Seems to me that most people are divided on that front (me being on the side of not telling). But your story sure supports the side that does tell. My first dinner party was a total disaster; the hostess went to so much work and I couldn't eat anything......I still feel so bad about that.

Keep posting; we're all interested and excited for you.

      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. 🤞
