I was just thinking about our little group and thinking I should post something - glad you posted notime!!

How's everyone doing? Maybe we should all check in with our weight loss, inches lost, calorie and/or Fluid intake, exercise, etc., or whatever else we can think of to see where we are at since we just passed our 16-week mark?? I'll do it but gotta get it all together first...

does anyone else have just a single narrow column now for our posts? I don't have this anywhere else on the forum just our group.

I went on vacation for five days and lost five pounds. That, after a two month stall.

I'm here. How is the gallbladder problem? I hope you haven't gotten into the pain stage. You have a heap of responsibilities and duties, is all going well? I think about you and your situation often.

I am starting with a personal trainer and have been doing some hiking at a beautiful state park. I'm not able to hike very far and the personal trainer will be shocked at how out of shape I am, but I have to start somewhere. What are all of you doing for exercise?

Hi everyone! I'm still here too. I'm so disappointed in myself. I joined the health club and haven't been in a few weeks. I am trying to talk myself into going tomorrow. I don't know what my problem is. Weight loss is super slow too. I'm hanging in there though and don't care how slow I lose, I know I will get there. I can't figure out why I have this narrow column now either! Does everyone have it?

You'll get there, Joni. I have a narrow column, too. It doesn't really bother me though.

im doing ok with the gallbladder, surgery is scheduled for sept 10. Really dreading another surgery. Im basically just walking a lot for exercise, I am ready to join the gym but it would be a waste of money to join this month because of the upcoming surgery. The only local gym we have has a 6 month contract so Im just going to wait until im healed from this surgery to join.

Kellie, I'm glad things have settled down a little at home and the surgery will soon be behind you. Gall bladder surgery was nothing when I had it done. You will do well. Keep us informed.

I dropped to 199 today. Still losing, but not as fast as I would like and certainly not as fast as many others. I suppose I should only look at my own weight and be glad the trend is downward. Guess I'm a turtle.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
