How's everyone doing? I had surgery Tues and came home today. Little scare Tues nite when my heart rate stayed around 39-42, but EKG came back fine. I kept down 18g of Protein today and feel pretty good with that. Also had a hiatal hernia fixed, which is what I think most of my discomfort is coming from.

sleeved on 4-24-13 started at 218 down to 158 as of this morning. Feeling great, not one issue. hair starting to fall out but i have so much it's not an issue. I eat what ever i want in moderation. I drink what ever i want as well. Only issue i have is food just doesnt taste good anymore. I eat it because i have to but i no longer have a favorite food. I do make better choices on eating. I eat tons of salad and do my best to stay away from carbs. I do eat carbs though. Today i had 1/2 sandwich and a few chips for lunch.< /p>

Glad to hear that your doing well. I was 248 before pre op 235 day of surgery and 175. I eat and drink what I want as we'll. no carbonation and still only eat a very little amount per day. My hair is also Falling out a ton. I have long thick hair but it is still heartbreaking to see it everywhere. I feel bad for women who have thin hair before takin this journey. I couldn't imagine the amount of hairless I'm experiencing.

      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.
