I'm so glad to see how great everyone is doing. My surgery was 11/4 and currently I have lost 55 lbs. I feel great. Only 46 more to go!! I'm ready for nice weather so I can get outside and walk, I love my new treadmill but I am ready for fresh air!! Again, its great to see how everyone else is doing and it seems like we are all in a similar range for loss which is very encouraging. Best of luck to everyone!!

Wow! It looks like everyone is doing great!

I was sleeved on 11/29 and I am down 64 pounds. I still struggle with getting in all of my Water and Protein. Until last week I was having a hard time with anything I would eat. Then it was like someone flipped a switch and it all got better. It was really strange. I really need to be better about my exercise too! I have gotten on the treadmill a few times, but I do need to step it up!

Keep up the good work everyone!

This is my first post, I just joined today. My surgery was 11-14-11. Everything went well, no complications. I've never gotten sick from over eating, something I'm very proud of. I still struggle to get my Water in but I have Protein MASTERED!! I eat small portions several times a day. I keep track of everything I put in my mouth, right down to a stick of gum, religiously. I have almost met the 100 pound loss, now to maintain...ugh! I will find out just where I am on May 3rd, that is my 6 month appointment and the day they take my "after" picture. :unsure: I feel great!! The best thing I did for myself, besides having surgery, was not to have a scale in my house. Stepping on the scale everyday is BRUTAL!! JUST SAY NO!! DON'T DO IT!! :) I hope you are all doing well!!

Hi Carol,

Welcome and congratulations with your success. We are not too far apart, my VSG surgery was 11/1, developed an abscess from the drain and had to have a second surgery gosh I almost forgot the date, it was on 11/16. I had ACELL treatments for 6 weeks but ultimately the wound healed and I have not looked back.

This is a great and supportive site, you will find many folks here willing to share experiences, triumps and tribulations. I just love hearing what people eat and sharing how we overcome obsticals. It is and has been my support since before surgery.

Keep up your fabulous work and here is to long term life change.

Sandy

      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.
