The Gastric Sleeve Chat Room Is Always Open!



Recommended Posts

I messaged Alex and he said they took the chat program out because it was costing a lot to maintain on their server, and he could not justify spending the money because it was hardly being used.

I wrote back and told him if he ever decides to bring it back , to please but the button where we click clearly visible, and the reason it wasn't being used, was because nobody was using it.

If people want to live chat, message Alex and tell him you want it back. I think if he saw people really wanted it, he would bring it back.

Hi Pastano. I am just beginning also. I'm a bit overwhelmed with it all. Maybe I'm just afraid of success with surgery as I am failure (as so many previous times) without surgery.

I use my fitness pal and it always tell me to eat at least 1600 calories a day. I'm only getting in 800-900. I get in all my Protein, fiber and liquids. Should I just ignore it because I just can't do it. I feel overwhelmed

Hi! I use MFP as well. You can change your goals anytime in the settings. You will get a warning at the end of the day telling you that you need to eat more. I just ignore that. You can also set goals for protein and carbs.

      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.
