Recommended Posts

Things I can't currently tolerate: mayonaise' date=' ranch, creamy Soups, peppery smoked fish... anyone else having issues? Surgery was 6/25[/quote']

So far there's nothing I haven't been able to tolerate...not sure that's a good thing.

Lying poolside at the gym after a good workout. It's not coming off super fast. But, I'm sooooooo happy that its coming off. I'm gonna do cartwheels when the scale says 190 anything. I've been over 200lbs for soo long.

Put this side by side together tonight... Crazy!

I posted a few pics last week but I see it so much better with a close up!

Still don't feel like I'm the size I am.. Brain hasn't caught up- but the pics help me see it better than a mirror everyday or the scale.

Btw my surgeon said something at my last visit when I asked about stalls.. It stuck with me.

Best way to break a stall- stop weighing yourself- do what you are supposed to do with your Protein, Water and exercise and the weight will go with time.

Hi I was sleeved on May 15th 2013. My heaviest weight was 236 pounds on a 5'2 1/2 inch body. I am on my scale 204 right now. I was last month on the 13th 213. I was very slow to loose as I was eating things I should not have eaten only very little of it. I only in 3 weeks lost one pound and my surgeon was upset! I really though I was doing well. He didn't! Well in the week since I saw him I am down to 204. I just eat cottage cheese with peaches, Greek plain white yogurt with cinnamon, sometimes half a banana, Progresso Soups, some salad, raisin bran Cereal with 1% milk. etc. Most foods to be honest are still very heavy in my stomach and I really don't enjoy eating too much anymore. It is a struggle emotionally but I will get thru it with God's help. I see my surgeon toward the end of Aug. and he told me that I had better be below 200 and I am sure I will be. Now that I know I am not able to eat just anything even though it was so little an amount.. Worst thing is I thought I was okay to do so. Glad I went in to talk to him.. Thanks for reading this. Sandy

        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
