I couldn't be happier. I realize it won't continue at this rate. The first 20 fell off in the first 10 days and since then things have slowed to a normal level. My clothes are definitely looser. One thing that makes me really happy is that my feet and ankles no longer swell up painfully each day. I have essentially doubled my shoe wardrobe and I don't have to be concerned about wearing clothes that show my ankles. Dresses and capri pants are back in style for me. My ankles are now sexy again and the rest will follow. :)

I read postings by a lot of people who are on the fence about getting the surgery and I want to offer encouragement. I had a hard time in the hospital. I struggled with pain and virtually didn't sleep the two days I was there. At that point I doubted my decision (not like I could do anything about it, but, I was definitely wondering if it was going to be worth it) However, after I got home and ever since it's been pretty smooth sailing. My stomach has not rejected anything. The head hunger factor has been greatly reduced since I've gotten back to normal activities and off liquids. I've been on soft foods for a few days and am happy with what I can currently eat. The only struggle at this point are the protien shakes. I don't want anymore. Ever. However, I just treat them like any chore and get it done and out of the way as quickly as I can each day. If you're trying to decide, just know that for many people things go really well.

It's not unusual. I lost about a pound a day everyday for a couple of months.

I didn't say it is unusual. I'm just happy.

That's fantastic!

We have similar stats, you give me hope:)

....me, too. I am in a stall, and NOT happy about it. I wondered if the surgeon removed the wrong organ during surgery! I know, patience...

      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
