Chacha, it could be possible. I'm adopted and we could have been separated at birth! Hahaha

I'm so proud of myself, I got a prescription for anti-depresants. After that last episode I'm afraid I'll have more if I don't do something about it now, when I'm still healthy enough, mentally, to get my self to the doc.

Good for you! I'm really glad you did it.

ChaCha - we have so many similarities that it's almost scary.

I'm doing great! Really loving my sleeve. It is definitely the best decision I've made in a loooooong time!

Well I'm down 41.5 lbs. I was sleeved on 3/15 and started at 288. I weighed myself yesterday and I was down 41.5. Awesome.

Congratulations! Way to go!!!!

I'm curious what you guys are experiencing in terms of capacity for the different meals throughout the day. I'm able to eat (just recently) more than I thought I'd be able to in the mornings, and not quite as much at lunch, but I'm having a hard time with dinner. I skip it most nights, or just have a drink. I'd really hoped the issue of varying restriction was a thing of the past (from my lapband) but it seems like I'm doomed forever. ;)

BTW, had to get weighed yesterday, seem to be in the second week of a stall. But I'm like a stall *****. I tend to lose a lot very quickly, then stall out to a very moderate overall loss.

Ha! I'm flipped. I'm an afternoon- late eve eater. I have an insatiable appetite when I get home from work. I need a pm snack and usually I get so busy I end up forgetting. Yesterday I was starving after dinner for hours until I finally broke down and ate.

My restriction doesn't seem to fluctuate. About the same amount at each meal. I can eat approximately 1/2 cup at each meal.

I seem to be more hungry in the evening as well. I can also eat about 1/2 cup of food. I can do six ounces of yogurt but it takes me awhile.

      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. 🤞
