When you are at the mall with your daughter and you see a small lady coming at you and you think, "what does this skinny b!tch want" and then realize you are walking towards a mirror. hahahaha (not that I think all thin women are you know b!tches but she was coming at me fast and I thought I was gonna have to dodge a perfume spritz or something. lol

Hahahahah good one!

I'm doing good. Finally able to get some of that gas out. I'm still taking pain meds throughout the day to take away the surgery soreness. But, I'm having trouble getting enough calories and Protein in. Last few days, I've only totaled 300 calories or less, 30 grams protein per day. This morning, I drank 4 ozs Water with 23 grams of unflavored Protein Powder just to get a head start on what I'm supposed to consume each day. I have no appetite, no desire to eat, which is shocking to me! I've never had that problem before, lol.

How about you 'Rita48'?

Today has been my worst day, sorta feeling drained. I had been doing extremely well, getting the fluids and protein in, although today I'm behind. The incisional soreness at umbilical site is killing me but the pain medication helps. I even went outside and walked a bit yesterday, today I have no get up and go. I'm looking forward to a better tomorrow. Glad that you are doing well.

Here is my latest list of "You know you lost weight when" answers.
  1. Yeah I know it seems a bit shallow, but damn it I didn't really have a shallow phase at all until now so let me live in it for a bit).

  2. *Also I maybe the only one that does this, its also a bit dangerous and silly but.....* To be able to drive with one's leg on the dash because his legs and thighs are skinny enough to allow for such flexible acts of nature.


Yes!!! And Yes!!!

      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. 🤞
