I am down 7 lbs, I think. My scale is hard to read, because it's not digital. In any case, my BMI was 42 in July when I started the process and now it's under 40, so even if I haven't lost big numbers, I am going in the right direction.

BTW, I have been eating pureed Soup about once a day since Day 5...I am using the Magic Bullet and it seems to do a good job.

were all guilty of slipping but we get back on track my 2nd question is you had your surgery on the 17th were just 2 weeks out thats dangerous your stomach is in the healing process right now don't you know you could get a leak for eatting stuff like that ive steal have my jp tube still in for a controlled leak and all i've had is Water apple juice and broth ya i'm sick of it but a leak scares me to death! I don't want to sound goody goody it just scares me for you but just jump back on the wagon we all are guilty and be careful ! it's been rough we had our last christmas on saturday and I just fixed my kids there plates and I went and set on the couch why everybody else ate cause boy did those mash tators and stuffing and ham and turkey and sweet potatoes look good ! Good luck you got this !!!!

Today I am 3 weeks out from my surgery I went to the doctor last week and he said I was healing just fine well this morning I was touching one of my stiches from the surgery and it felt kind of hard like a lump . I had my husband look at it he said every thing looks fine but it feels hard to me I am getting worried it is the scar on the right side . It does not look red or infected I do no know what is going on or am I worrying to much

Try not to worry Hun, scars can feel very lumpy and bumpy for the first 12 months. Our skin has been cut and resewn chances are one or two fibres have overlapped. If its not weeping or red or hot or tender then it's prob just normal healing if IRS still worried give the Dr a call xxxx

Even though I was sleeved on the 17th, I don't get to see my doctor for the two-week appointment until the 2nd. I haven't even lost 10 lbs, so I am bracing myself for some kind of disappointment from him, but I don't think I did anything wrong as per his instructions.

As for SCARRING - if it feels lumpy, I think that is normal. Two of my scars are really lumpy. I would be more worried if you said the incisions were causing pain and/or if there was increased redness.

You definitely shouldn't have eaten those! It would've been better if you chewed and spit. I've done it a few times but only with little things, and I've eater a few peanuts and pistachios, but I've stopped that because there is a serious risk for a leak only being two weeks out. It's not about weight gain, it's about your health after healing. Be cautious and if you start feeling intense pain with a fever, contact your doctor right away!

One of my incisions is bumpy too, but I figured it's just healing and the stitches are still there. Once the stitches dissolve, put creams on it and rub it to get circulation into it. I think it's normal for our scars to be weird

Oh no. Vomiting AGAIN. This is seriously annoying me now. :-(

I'm sorry to hear about the vomiting! is it because you just moved to pureed foods or has it been vomiting through out the two weeks post op?

      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
