Hahahaha I love it!!!! Stay in touch! How's it been for you so far?

Besides this crazy side cramp/sharp pain that I've had for a week now & put me in the ER Sun am...all is good! We had our work weightloss challenge final weighout today & it was 17lbs so I know I'm down that at least from my highest which was pretty much the same as my preop diet weight. Had no pain or nausea. But now I dont seem to like much. Cottage cheese is about it & milk & fudgecicles. Not getting Water in today at all...boo...but pants are baggie!

I definitely feel that. I never thought I could be so un-excited about losing massive amounts of weight in a week, but in the greater context of feeling so "blah", it just isn't as awesome :( hope you feel better soon!

Maybe some sublingual B-12 complex would give u a boost! You are doing great. Get your rest but make urself get up & walk some. One day at a time, trust me, I know.

Question? When you are eating grilled fish do you count raw as your measurement for ounces or when it's cooked? Want to make sure I'm accurate...

I think I;m having the 3 week stall too. Oh well. I guess the scale will move eventually; I did have a couple of incisions open up a little when the stitches came out. I've been nursing them for 2 weeks and they are finally healing pretty well.

I'm down 21 lbs and waiting for more to fall off!

Glad to hear all of you are doing well too. Is anyone still extremely tired?? I am!

Hi group! I just joined the community and this is my first post :-) I am 1 week and day post-op, and down 11 lbs. I was just given the "OK" to move on to creamed Soups. I have celiac disease, so finding a good gluten free Soup has been rather difficult...plus nothing tastes good or looks good to me. I also have trouble with gluten free Protein shakes...either I can't find them, or they taste terrible.

I am feeling better each day, but I do struggle with stomach spasms, and I have diarreah all the time...normal?

Any suggestions on GF soups and Protein Shakes would be MUCHO appreciated :-)

Today is two weeks and one day for me post op! I'm down 29.6 pounds! I am tired most days and I was supposed to go back to work originally today, but I had severe left side pain about four days ago got scared and the doctor signed off on me staying home another week! Started mushy good yesterday! Yummy! Loving the refried Beans, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and best of all my Protein count has increased tremendously! I can usually eat a 1/2 cup of food it takes me the 30 minutes to get it in!! Feeling less pain in left side today so hopefully I'm done with that! I started at 250 and am 220.4 today! 5' 5" tall

        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.

      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
