Hello all.. I'm Syrian :)

Sleeved on Oct. 22

Was 222.5 lbs (101 kg.) now after 12 weeks , I'm 179 lbs (81.2 kg.)

Not satisfied with how much I lost, I know people did it later and lost more..

The problem is that my Dr gave me no diet program for more than 4 weeks.. now I eat whatever I want..

Yes I was sleeved in the Middle East and doing really well but have been given no food plan to follow so I rely more on what is said here. :) I think you are doing really well so keep going.

Thank you.. :)

What I'm worried about, is the Vitamins, I take one Centrum pill daily, which as I read here is not enough...

I know what you mean. I was told just to take the Centrum too. Nothing else except nexium twice a day although I feel I only need it in the morning. I am having blood tests run every three months to keep an eye on any deficiency so I suppose I will have to wait and see. What about you. Are you having blood work done?

No. All good that end and am managing to eat anything but only small amounts. I concentrate on my Protein and find there is little room for much else lol :)

I'm only taking one Centrum pill daily, and when I asked the dr if I should take Vit.B 12 his answer was, it's not necessary..

I'm so confused, could you please send me the diet program you are following.. :)

Hey!! I'm Egyptian but born and raised in NYC! I went to Cairo to get sleeved since I didn't really meet the criteria to be covered by my insurance. I was sleeved 12/22/12. I weight 225. Three weeks later I am 203.

        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
