How has everyone been doing?



Recommended Posts

I hope everyone is doing well! What have you guys been able to eat and not eat? How has getting this surgery changed your life? Do people notice that you have lost weight?

I've been doing well! I haven't really had any trouble with foods! This surgery has changed my life. I don't know where i would be right now if i had not decided to have it. I am 95 pounds down. I wouldn't even dream of this a year ago. People have noticed that i have lost weight. i have gotten the "Katie have you lost weight" a lot from people i don't even talk to. It can be really satisfying and also really annoying at the same time.

What about you?

Hey Guys! Im 18 and i just completed my freshman year of college! I just got sleeved on Wednesday (5/15) and I am so excited about this process. I cannot wait to be done this clear liquid diet, and can't wait to get back to my active life. Sitting around on the couch trying to drink my yucky Isopure is so not what I wanna be doing!

Im so glad that I stumbled upon this supportive and understanding online community!

Congratulations! I know what that clear liquid diet is like because i had to do it 5months ago.Im 17 and will be a freshman in college in august. Just stick with it and remember why you wanted to do this and it outweighs your not liking something you are sipping on. Best of Luck! Keep us updated!

      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.
