FRUSTRATED!!!

You seem to be doing fine with a low BMI your weight loss is not far from the average December sleever, Keep your head up you dont have far to go besides look at it like this the slower the lest likely you will have saggy skin. fast looser's have a lot of excess skin your slow loss may work in your favor later =-) .

One thing that is helped me with getting all of the Water in is buying bottles of water by the case. Every morning I put my 5 bottles of water on the kitchen counter. By night, if I have any left, I don't allow myself any coffee, Protein hot chocolate, etc. until all of the water is gone!

My signature is up to date. Losses have been slow but steadier last few weeks. I'm not counting calories or tracking food anymore, I may start again if I stall lol. I hate stalls.

How's everyone's Hair loss? I lose handful of hair daily thank goodness I have a lot of hair or I'd be bald!

So far no hair loss I pray it stays that way I heard not everyone looses hair.

About the same as you, but mine is more like 'shedding' which I did all the time before surgery anyways...

My Hair loss is no more or less than usual so far. Of course I expect that to change any day now. I even had 5 inches cut off my hair as a precautionary measure.

My doc says 5mg Biotin and Omega 3s. Evening primrose oil pills also help. I can't take while on Coumadin.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
