Hi!

I got back from TJ yesterday and after a good nights sleep I feel pretty good all things consdiered. The experience was not bad at all and I am glad that I did it. I was very nervous about being sick and feeling really lousy. I will admit, the first 2 days were rough, and I was kind of hatin life, but I trudged through. I had a nasal gastric tube for the first 24 hrs after the surgery and I think that is what bothered me the most. I HATED it. I wasnt sick, I have been able to drink fluids pretty well and I feel good!!! I will keep you posted on my progress. Have a great weekend.

Hey Miranda!

I am doing very good! I tried a Protein shake today for the first time and it seemed to sit well. I havent been hungry at all, but know I need some nutrition. It was a real pleasure to have met you as well and I really hope to stay in touch. After the first 2 days, I havent had any problems getting my fluids in. Im so glad to hear that you are doing great!! I have to admit, Im doing ALOT better than I thought I would. Have you heard from anyone else yet? I added everyone to my Facebook and so far everyone except Amy has responded. I better run and finish my shake....lol Take care and keep in touch ( I will too!)

      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
