The chat room is pretty cool. I was in there the other night and at that time was only a few days post - op. They were talking about food, and at that point I didn't care if I ever ate another thing again. Talk of oysters and Sushi were making me sick, I had to leave... There seems to be a small crowd of "regulars" and others check in from time to time. It's great for me since I'm home alone recuperating... it's like having company. :)

It has moved to the bottom right hand corner of my screen.

I don't like it since they moved over to this new system. The chat program is completely different.

It's up above . You have to click on community.

I don't think people can find it. You can put up a post asking if anyone wants to chat. You can minimize this window and open another window and do other things. Then you can see if anyone comes in.

I can't imagine what would cause this if she hasn't been sleeved yet.

If she has already had her surgery, she should talk to her surgeon. It sounds like dumping syndrome, but I can't imagine a Protein shake causing it.

I had weight loss surgery in Sept 2011 and I had lost 100 pounds. I got pregnant and of course they put me on the gestational diabetes diet because I couldn't take the test. Then when I tried to breastfeed I followed their advice and ate how I was supposed to. Now I have gained back 50 pounds and I feel like I am hungry all day. I am at a loss and don't know what to do. I don't have insurance but can your stomach stretch out like before? I also should mention that after having my daughter I also had to have a massive knee surgery and I had to have a major lipoma in my back removed because of the pain it was causing. I am just now starting to work out again 5-6 days a week. Any advice, stories, anything are helpful!

Is it only on computer or can it be accessed on Mobil?

I will message Alex and find out if we still have a chat room available. They redid the format around here, and everything was different. I don't see a button for a chat room anymore.

Everytime I peek, there is no one there. Now, I am used to talking to myself, but don't want to bore myself on a public forum....

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
