Along with pictures' date=' measure yourself as well! I took my before shots in capri yoga pants and a tank top (don't own a sports bra) and started an Excel spreadsheet on my computer for measurements (i.e. bust, thigh, waist, neck, etc.). I know there will be times the scale may not be moving, but the inches lost will! Definitely excited to have "after" and "during" pictures to show off someday![/quote']

Great idea!! That will def show results!!

Before pictures:::: make sure everyone takes before shots!! Trust me!! You will have days that you feel that your not losing' date=' your bad days... Look at that before shot and it will help you remember!!

This is my second go around..( so to speak) I've list 36 lbs since my first appt with my doc in dec... The 19th is fast approaching and ill say that I'm more nervous this time around. My biggest fear is to wake from surgery and it could not have been done again for the second time. ( first time was due to a mass on my stomach) so this is all a second chance for me... The surgery saved my life once and now it's time to go again. I have a friend who is having the sleeve in the same day, same doc. We are sleeve buddies! Looking forward to the other side if the sleeve! :)[/quote']

I took my "before" pics this morning. What an eye opener!!! I am headed to my pre-op appointment shortly and start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I think I will be good this week since I will be traveling alone (for work) with no one to influence me. At least I am hoping so! Wish me luck!

walk people walk. The gas pain is sooooo intense it's CRAZY! I thought gas pain would just be in the abdomen. nooooooooooooooo For me, it has gone to my neck, on the right side, to make a headache so intence that it is worse than my migranes. It hurts to swallow. It hurts to touch. i'm on incredibly gross tylenol3 every 4 hours.... It doesn't last long enough at all.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
