I actually just had my first mushy food since the surgery. And it sucks!!!! I have this pain in my chest that comes and goes. But other than that everything is good! Lost almost 60lbs since I started my journey in January. So overall I'm happy!

How are things going for you?

Lol ... I remember that stage it did suck ... Be careful with the pain in your chest , don't just ignore it . That's a great loss , I'm a slow loser and so far I'm down 66 in 6 months hey ill take it ... things are even slower now going into my 7 month but I'm pretty positive that I will get to goal ( another 40 lbs ) ...

That's awesome!!! Yeah I ate too much this morning, I think that's why I had the chest pain. I just ate about an hour ago and listened to my body a little more, AND NO CHEST PAIN! AWESOME!!!

It's so good to hear that you're close to your goal! I'm still along ways from mine.

Hello Everyone! I'm (reluctantly, work related) a Jersey girl...Spotswood / Englishtown (Middlesex) area. Had my surgery on March 25, 2013 with Dr. Glassnap from NJ Bariatric Center, Springfield. I can happily say things seem to be going well so far. Anybody from around my area?

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
