Hi,weewers, I'm 3 weeks out, had my surgery sept 16 th, I went in at 305,I'm 5'7" I'm down to 286 so far can't walk much due to knee problems but my goal is around 140, 150 and I have no doubt that I will hit it. My dr said I should be down 65 lbs by Xmas so I'm excited about that, I already feel better the surgery was a little more painful than I expected but I had a hernia repair also. Still have pain left of my navel where the stomach is taken out but I think I over did it one day and that's why, my bp is already way down so it won't be long before I'm good all the way. Good luck in your surgery it will be great

Hopeful one, I started taking Biotin 10,000 mg 2weeks before my surgery and I haven't had any Hair loss as of yet I also started my B12 then to. Do not purchase all the Protein Drinks and powders from your doctor they are expensive I did get the multi vit. But it's hard going down ,I'm on this new product called thrive that has all the vit and nutrients in it ,I started it because of my pain issues and it's like a miracle, I've been in pain with my shoulders and knees for 15 yrs and the day I started thrive it was amazing and the best part of that it's not a narcotic or a prescription,I drink slim fast Protein drinks, the key is to get protein and Water but it's difficult to drink all the water for me, I drink a lot of crystal lite and it's made with water so that's it for me oh I'm 59 will be 60 in February

        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!

      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
