Hey cookeeeez it's sounds like gall stones! Those sounds like the type of pains I has when I had them. If feels like you chest is caving in, but also comes from the back. Keep an eye on it. Ask your doctor, they can send you for an ultrasound. Keep us updated

Hi, thanks for the reply! It did feel almost as bad as gallstones! But I've had mine removed ;) lol I ended up drinking almost half a bottle of mylanta I got from the 24hr servo and by 4.30 it had settled enough to finally get some sleep!

I hadn't eaten anything irregular yesterday but mum says I had it once when I first moved out of home and ate too much Vietnamese afte I had been drinking (not a common occurence for me!) and called her thinking I was having a heart attack!

Lol, anyway, my body is still a bit achey but I feel a lot better but i still think I'll go to GP tomorrow and put it on the record... It was quite scary and painful!

I'm so excited to see your pics shellz!!! And congrats on your promotion!!!!!

You look AMAZING 2 months post op! What a huge difference. And I just LOVE your hair!

I haven't done anything dramatic with my hair yet. My sister says I should wait til I lose more. I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.

Shell you look amazing!!!! What a difference!!! And congrats on the promotion. I can so relate to the massive boost in confidence.

NSV TODAY!!!! My size 16 work pants were swimming on me. They were target brand, but I had a pair of Kmart ones that fitted better, they were 16 too. I went to target today to get the same style of pants in a 14 as they were pretty comfy and a good style. I work with my sister and she came with me into the change room. She grabbed a size 12 and a 10. I tried on the 14 and it fitter ok. It was a little loose around the waist, but didn't fall off my hips like the 16 did. My sister looked amazing in the 10 and gave me the 12 saying just try it. And guess what!!!!

IM WEARING SIZE 12 WORK PANTS!!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
