6 MONTHS SURGAVERSARY!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I havent been posting much here but I have been lurking almost everyday, On the 23rd I will be 6 months since surgery and I have lost a total of 71 pounds I havent changed my ticker yet.

I have to say its been the best thing I have ever done for my self. I feel great and I love losing weight!

I always have my Protein Drink every morning and I do try and eat mostly Protein every day, I also eat other things I shouldnt,lol. But I dont do it on a regular basis. My Dr told me that I can eat what ever I want cause I will only eat very little , its what you drink that is important.

I work out about 3 times a week and I walk about 4 times a week, I just started lifting weights cause my arms are huge!

I am in a size 10 pants and I cant remember when I was last in that size of pants. It totally feels great!

The only problem I have is getting my Water in, I am not a water drinker and so I dont get all the water I need I put flavoring in it and that helps.

I have 28pounds till goal!

If there is anyone debating on getting the surgery, let me tell you the only regret is that I didnt get it done

sooner.

Thanks for reading, God Bless,

Lisa

I am so glad to have read your post... I am anxiously awaiting my surgery date in July.. i also think i should have made this decision sooner. I believe I was trying to do it on my own.. but I just kept hitting a road block.. Also, with having a toddler i was afraid.... and maybe i am just ready now.. not sure.. but I AM GOING TO DO IT... and I can hardly wait.. to be healthy and into a size 8-10... i can almost taste it.. lol

Your progress is so helpful to those either awaiting surgery, or on the fence..

Thanks for posting..

      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
