How's everyone doing? We're, what, on day 9. Wow. Time flies. I'm still on full liquids until Tues. Then soft foods til day 30. Then I can introduce regular food, one at a time. I can't believe it takes me 30 min. to eat 1/4 c. of cream of wheat! Never thought that would happen!! Lol!

I hope everyone's recovery has been smooth and speedy. I feel very blessed to be on this wonderful journey!

Loool tell me about it. It takes me all day to sip on a 12oz shake of Protein. Not sure I'm getting all my liquids in but I seem okay. So what are you having now, bc I've gotten so bored with what having, maybe u can enlighten me! I'm feeling great though.. been going out and taking long walks all over downtown DC with my hubby and little ones.. like 3 to 5 hours and honestly I feel so good ♡

I have my check up on tuesday as well, can't wait :-)

I'm kinda bored, too. I've been eating cream of wheat, Protein Shakes, greek yogurt (plain)-yuck! Taste like I'm eating sour cream. Lol. I need to try to add something to it! I've also been having Soup a lot. Sounds weird in this SoCal heat wave. But it tastes so good. I just use the emersion blender to make it very smooth. I'm also starting to make smoothies. 1c. soy/almond milk, 1c. frozen fruit, 2 packets of Splenda and a few ice cubes. Blend until smooth. It makes a lot, though. Still not used to the downsized portions! :rolleyes: So I just have some and freeze the rest for later. Take it out 1/2hour or so before you want it. Hope it helps. Best of luck to you!

      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. 🤞

      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.
