@shewin1 Keep your head up, where there is a will there is a way! Stay positive even though its a bump in the road it just means its going to take a little longer for you to get there. But you will get there.

I have not so great credit' date=' I have to have a co-signer & the only person I asked was my mom and she said no. She's very negative about it and doesn't want me to have it done. The only other thing I can think of doing is a payday loan. And I'm not sure I want to do that and not sure what that entales. So, unless I win the lottery? I will have to push backy date. 8**([/quote']

Local or Mx?

Don't do a payday loan!! It's like 80% interest! My husband and I have really sucky credit (finally building it up now) so I know what it's like. Do you have insurance? If not do you qualify for Medicaid? Medicaid is paying for everything 100% for me or I wouldn't be getting it. It's perfect timing because my husbands work insurance (which is ridiculously expensive) kicks in in September so I just made it.

I am 2 weeks post op today and onto the "puréed" stage. I also had the pre-op liquid diet for 4 WEEKS which was such a joy:)

Truth: My opinion is that every body type is different and reacts differently. There are some things you should plain just not eat right now (fried foods, tough meets, soda, alcohol etc) but others I feel are in the grey area. I'm on puréed foods and had a very small piece if deli turkey (size of my pinky). I chewed and chewed, took it very slowly, listened to my body and I feel great. I've had a few veggies that have been so steamed they melt in my mouth and then I chewed and chewed and chewed. I think you are the only one who knows if its worth it and how your body is healing. Of course you should be careful, but no judgement here;) good luck!

@ SD_mini. Thank you for that. Today after all the comments I've gotten so far is enough to get me back on track . Very helpful. This is difficult very very difficult. More than I bargained for. I'm glad I have made it this far but, it is only the beginning. Where my mind hasn't realized that I'm losing weight.. I am trying harder from here on.

Don't do a payday loan! They are a scam and you will never get out from under it

I keep having dreams that I eat a handful of something and then realize I am in the liquids stage of the diet...then I wake up all upset. I am 1 week post op and today was making my husband some cucumber salad. I always taste each end of the cucumber for bitterness before I slice it into the salad. So today, out of habit, I just popped a piece of cucumber into my mouth to taste and started chewing it...thankfully I realized before I swallowed it what I was doing. I couldn't believe I almost ate it without even thinking...old habits die hard...but sooo glad I caught myself :)

      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.
