Wednesday Followup



Recommended Posts

I have my followup with my doc on Wednesday at 9:45am. There's a support group at 6:30 that same night. He's about 30 minutes from me.

Would you go in the morning for followup and go back in the evening for support?

I feel like I'm ok but I enjoyed the last support group and learned stuff. I just don't like driving that much at night - it's in a really traffic-y area.

I get weighed Wednesday morning. Ugh. I'm trying to repeat that whatever I've lost, I will be happy about. I know it's the best my body can do. I think I'm worried because everyone keeps saying how much they can see that I've lost and I'm scared it won't be "enough" no matter how much it is. So I'm trying to find a place of gratitude.

I am in a similar place. I haven't lost a lot yet. Weirdly, when I got home, I'd lost a few below, no Water weight to lose, which was initially nice, but I've only dropped about 2 lbs more since then. But on my docs scale, with my winter clothes on, they said I had only lost 2 lbs total, that was kind of depressing. You'd think a week on Clear liquids having 250 calories or less I could do better than that, but its gotta go sometime I hope.

You've lost a lot of weight though, OMG -- 84 lbs! You rock!

Hello Dec. Sleevers,

I had a revision from band to sleeve done on Dec. 30th. I am now on the clear liquid diet for 3 weeks because of all the scar tissue from the band removal. I am experiencing horrible Migraine headaches, I suspect that they stem from the medicine used at the hospital.

I would love suggestions on what to eat.. I was so looking forward to not having to do the clear liquid diet for more than a week, but unfortunately that is not the case. liquids are going down well, but I can't stand the powdered drinks or the protien shots. My taste buds have totally changed and they just taste horrible to me. Any suggestions?

      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. 🤞
